Hiya, The diff ratio will almost certainly be 4.1:1 on a regular WRX assuming it still has the original diff. It will be a viscous type of slipper.

75W90 is the correct gear oil synthetic is best.

If by chance you have a plated LSD then it will need the correct amount of oil installed. Because the slipper takes up a load of space inside the axle, you will not get the correct amount in if you just fill to the plug level, Effectively you need to 'overfill' it as the CWP or bearings will suffer from the overheated oil if too little oil is put in.
