Default Differential Oil Change

Im going to change the front and rear differential oil in my 11 Rubicon. Will I have to still buy the additive if I use a quality oil such as RP or Mobil 1 Synthetic?

Rubicon axles don't need the additive.

Default Use Mobil 1 and you will ok

it has the additive already in it, they are $11 at advance auto parts. Read the label and it says 75 W90 LS. the LS stands for limited slip.
if you don't need the additive then Mobil 1 is still the best oil out there.
