You will need EP80W90 gear oil plus the limited slip diff. additive. You can also buy the same oil with additive already mixed in.

You'll need about 3 quarts of lube ,give or take a few ounces, as well as the additive/friction modifier. I used just shy of the 3 quarts and a pint of modifier when I rebuilt the rear carrier in my F-150
