Usually you put synthetic in the rear differential. Did you add limited slip additive?? On the back cover on the rear has a tag on a bolt. It will have a number on it for the oil weight I believe and if it needs the LS additive it will have an L on it

The Valvoline has already limited slip on it! Not sure of this will work perfectly instead of the synthetic?

The LS that comes in diff fluid is not the same as the Ford stuff. You will always need to add the motorcraft additive.
