UAW, you can look on the RPO label in the glove box, its about 3x5 white sticker with a bunch of three digit codes on it. The G-80 option will be listed in alphanumeric order. Regardless of if it has it or not, use a quality synthetic lube to fill. OEM fluid is 75-90 Synthetic referred to as grape juice due to its smell.
