Make sure you check to see if its LSD before adding Oil. I went with Mobil 1 synthetic with an LSD additive.. Lube is lube IMO but the way you know its full is just fill the top plug until it starts to gush out.. ( about 1.1 quarts i believe )

If it's LSD then go with API GL5, if it's not an LSD go with API GL4.

Is the LSD additive completely necessary?

I used Redline 75w90 gear oil.
