Posi additive in Australia
« on: February 25, 2019, 06:09:02 AM »
Hi All,

Does anyone know where I can buy suitable Posi Diff Additive in Victoria, Australia for my 68 SS/RS 12 bolt?

Cheers,

Autobarn, Burson, Repco and a lot of other smaller retailers stock it.

The original (60's and 70's) GM posi additive was supposedly made from 'whale oil', and when they were going to discontinue it, I bought a few bottles.   Attached are photos of two bottles of additive and a bottle of diff lube I bought from GM before that happened in the late 70's..  been on my shelf for the Z28 for a LONG time now.. :)

I have no idea what GM sells for (old) posi axles nowadays...  ??

Whale oil? No wonder it stinks...... ::)
Here's what is currently available from ACDelco, but plenty of good aftermarket alternatives. Pretty sure I used to be able to get this or equivalent from Holden back when I had a VY SS....

Go to your local Ford dealer (really!) and purchase 'Friction Modifier' for clutch type rear ends. Why the Ford product you ask? Its the best…seriously.
