I only want to use AC/delco oil but not sure to get the SAE 80w-90 GL-5 (not synthetic) or the SAE 75w-90 GL-5 which is synthetic. Also, if I get the synthetic to I need additive too?

Good afternoon,

I posted the specs for you for both differentials. The second one is for the front.

No, to the additive.

Thanks. This is helpful. I have the 1999 old body Tahoe. The years lead me to believe these specs are for newer model Tahoe. Can you please confirm?

The 1999 to 2001 is for your truck.

You are welcome.
