if you get something w/o friction modifiers you have to then add them in. I think both GM and Ford offer friction modifier.

Call your local auto store, my local Pep Boys carries Royal Purple 75W90 (not sure if it's the friction modifiers added one though, if you need them) for ~$9 and no shipping.

mmm... my owner's manual says .65 Liter for my 1.6 diff. Can't see a 1.8 diff being that much bigger

I use Royal Purple In all my vehicles diffs. and so far it's worked flawlessly. I believe Royal Purple also has the friction modifier in it. It's funny, I have 6 quarts or Royal Purple sitting in my garage right now. I'm going to change the front and rear diff oil in my 86 trooper one day.
Fluid capacity for a 1.8L diff is 1 liter but I can never get more than 0.8-0.9 liters before it starts coming out the overfill hole and yes, the car is level.
