Got castrol Syntrax in mine, did an excellent job of curing a seemingly dodgy gearbox. Other people reccomend the Redline stuff but i have not used it so can'y comment.
You can get the castrol Syntrax 75W-90 from Halfords although it is very expensive from there or online from castrolclassicoils.com
You will need about 3.5 to 4 litres depending on the gearbox size, some years differ so i have heard? Mine took about 3.75 litres and yes you do have to fill it through the dipstick hole.

Use a quality 75W-90 fully synthetic. Front diff and gearbox=4litres. Fill through the gearbox dipstick hole. Rear diff is .8litres approx.
