Everyone will recommend different oils but for me:

Engine Oil:
Millers Oils CFS 10w-40 Competition Full Synthetic Engine Oil

Gearbox Oil:
Millers Oils CRX 75w90 NT Competition full synthetic transmission oil

Diff Oil:
Millers Oils TRX Synth 75w-90 full synthetic gear oil


hope this helps

If you buy 5 litres of the CRX 75w 90nt transmission oil it will be enough to do the gearbox and rear diff. There is no need for a separate oil for diff in your car the CRX is fine for both.
