Who sells differential fluid?
Anybody have any reccomendations? I just got the Nismo LSD Pro installed and going through the break in procedures. It says to change the diff fluid after breaking it in, not a bad idea considering what I'm going to be doing to it soon. 
So...any retailers out there sell the Nismo 80/90 fluid it comes with? Or have something better? I'm looking to purchase some asap.

I know Mobil 1 synthetic 75w90 is available @ Auto Zone & Advanced Auto. I'm using that w/ the GM limited slip additive next week when I do the diff. oil change. Was going to use Redline SuperLite Shockproof w/ the GM additive, but hard to find around here. Several Z-fellas recommended the Mobil 1 w/ the GM additive - good combo in their opinion. Since I only have the stock Z LSD, it should be sufficient.

LS additive............
The additive is just a little extra insurance for the rearend - helps reduce chatter and noise, reduces plate friction. A similar type additive comes in most Redline gear oils. The GM version can be purchased at most GM dealerships ($6-7). Part #1052358. Is it neccessary on a stock LSD? - No Is it cheap insurance for peace of mind? Yes Kinda like me doing an alignment check at every other oil change...neccessary - maybe not for peace of mind after buying $1000 tires - yes!
Just my opinion.....

LSD oil..........
Uses almost 2 qts. of oil (about 1 3/4)......and yes, you can add the additive afterwards, tho I've always added it at the time of change in my cars
