I beleive you will use 80/90 weight gear oil. If you have a limited slip/posi rear end you may need an additional additive.

I just filled mine with 1 bottle Valvoline and 1 bottle Lucas, both 89/90.

75W90 or 80W90 will be fine, with a LS additive if you've got a Trac-Loc. Fill until the fluid starts dribbling out of the fill hole, I think it's just shy of 2qts.
