Hi, Wan

For your diff you will need a 75W-90 GL5 diff oil you can find plenty to choose from here http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-1044-gl-5.aspx

You will fill it from the dipstick. As you look at the engine the dipstick is under the left hand side of the intercooler.

You will need a long funnel to do the job too
