You want to make sure to get the properly rated fluid, which I believe is GL-4 (double check me). GL-5, which is more prevelant also has addatives that over a long period of time can be corrosive to bronze parts, which are found in your transaxle such as synchronizers etc. I know alot of people have run the GL-5 fine and never really had any problem with it, but I personally use a GL-4 rated motorcycle hyphoid gear oil. I found it at the local motorcycle shop after not finding any GL-4 at walmart or autozone. That's just my opinion though. Keep us posted.

Also a side note, be prepared to battle with the allen head drain and fill plugs.
