I use amsoil 80w90. It is the only synthetic fluid I could find in that particular weight.

long as it's gear oil weight doesn't make much differance unless you want something like 140w. most you'll find is between 75w and 90w with 90 to 120 as the other number. fill it till it runs out the fill hole, around 2 quarts.
