a good synthetic 80-90 GL5will work. you also need to find out if you have a limited slip. if you do you will need some friction modifier.
you will need 10 pints for the rear and 7.8 pints for the front. (just remember 2 pints to the quart so 8 quarts will be good and leave you with a little extra)

I have to question Drew's math on this.... 10+7.8 = 17.8 / 2 = 8.9 So, I'm thinking that 8 qts won't be quite enough....
