The rear end needs both the 90/80w gear oil, but it also takes a clutch chatter additive so your rear end clutch plates do not slip where you can now hear the action. They still break free as designed. You are hearing them slip only turning, not forward and reverse.
That is what it sounds like [rear end clutch chatter] when driving straight does not make the noise.

So, if you replaced fluids like you said and did the rear end pumpkin flush and clean, did not add the clutch chatter additive, then ask the dealer for that tiny bottle and just pour it in. The tube is not that much but about 3 more ounces give or take.
