Any 80/90 will work. You can get it at any parts store or even Wal Mart. You don't need anything special!

Or go all out and get synthetic - can't go wrong with that. I think it's 75-140 and more than recommended if you tow.

Redline, Amsoil, and Mobil 1 synthetic are all good synthetics. Just get the right weight to match your application. It's listed in the owners manual if you want to go spec.

And make sure you loop those bolt holes good with RTV and let it set up a little bit before adding the oil back into the diff case.
