Welcome to the board Firedad. I use Swepco 80-90 in both my transmission and the rear differential in my 325. I would have used Redline, but I had the Swepco sitting around in the garage. But you can use any brand. I would just make sure it is name brand like Valvoline, Mobile, or others.
Are you a fireman by chance? |

You'll also need some allen head sockets to get the plugs out. 17mm for the tranny and 14mm for the differential..
I'd reccommend either Swepco or Redline. I have Swepco in mine right now and it made my diff a little quieter... |
