AMSOIL Severe Gear 75W-90. I havent switched to synthetic yet but they do have a synthetic blend too if you are interested in running that.

So I should say, Do you guys think it would be ok if I ran this castrol 80-90 with some diff additive?

The Castrol should be fine, add some limited slip additive if applicable. Personally I run 50/50 Mobil synthetic 75w90/Lucas oil stabilizer, but that's just me.
