Both the transmission and rear end should have 140 grade. The steering

box should be 600W. For running in the motor I would recommend a

straight 30 grade for 1000 miles, then change over to a 20W-50

multigrade. You probably have different oils there than we have here,

but I use Castrol GTX in all my cars.
