Tc is Mercon v. If you've got limited slip in the rear then you need the additive. But I run 75-140 in my axles.

Look in your owner manual. If you don't have one, you can get a free pdf from here:

Rear axle on V8 AWD is Limited Slip, should have a metallic tag on it. But, unless you drove trough deep water, or you see it leaking, you shouldn't mess with the rear.
If you need to mess with rear, some 75W-140 come already with additive in them, like 'Mobil 1 Synthetic Gear Lubricant LS 75W-140'.

Amsoil Severe Gear is compatible with most limited-slip differentials. If limited-slip differential chatter occurs, add AMSOIL Slip Lock® friction modifier additive.
