    I bought Amsoil 75w-85 for my 3rd gen. The bags seemed slightly under filled. I'd recommend an extra bag or two if you go that route (whatever brand you pick).

    Having done both, in my opinion, the bags are much more convenient.

    Regular diff/gear oil 75w90 syn or conventional depending on what the diff recommends. I believe mech LSD = dino.

    Supposedly harder use warrants switch to 75w140.

    I have a regear where Lucas 75w140 SAE is recommended so that's what I run.
    Probably takes longer to warm up and knocks up to 1mpg off due to the thicker weight.
