Dana 60 lubrication

Can someone tell me how much and what type of oil is recommended for a front Dana 60 with a Detroit locker?

Thanks

Just use 80/90 and fill up to the fill plug.

Limited slip is the only carrier that needs a different lube, correct? I believe all the rest (lockers) use the same fluid as an open carrier.

Actually, you still use the 80/90 in most of the limited slips too, but you have tp put in a special additive for the cltuches. But yea, the detroits don't have any special needs over the open carrier.
