If it's anything like the classic then 75w-90. I'm going to be using Castrol Universal soon, but like i say that's for a classic.

This is a good site to see what oils are available:

You'll need five litres. Your gearbox will take about three and half litres and the rear diff about a litres or so. You want the Millers CRX 75w 90NT (nano technology) fully synthetic,

Millers CRX 75w 90NT or Redline Light Weight Shockproof. Redline is awesome and is a fit and forget oil, smooth as silk for notchy and normal boxes
