The proper oil is 80-90 gear lube. Use a top quality brand. Drain each end housing to remove contaminated oil. Once the housings are completely dry, they hold 1 quart of oil in each housing. There are level check plugs, fill until oil runs out the check plug openings. Be sure to seal the threads on all plugs to keep oil in-water out. If you have leakage around the oil seals, a rebuild is in order.

Use GL-4 not GL-5, GL-5 eats brass and other soft metals.
