Redline works best with the front and rear differential. I'm not aware of any other gear oil that can be used for the differential.

edit: oh, and it takes about 2 or 3 quarts.

1.3 according to my manual... but it doesnt really matter since lube is sold by the quart, so you'd have to get 2 quarts either way. from what i've heard the best stuff to use is redline 75w90, and neo something or royal purple are supposed to be good too
