The oil depends on the diff type.

GL6 if you got limited slip diff
GL5 if not, both sae 90, approx 2 litres.
You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.

Hi, This will give you the original Spec for your vehicle.

http://www.ruzip.ru/eumz/eumzcat.aspx.

Put your Vin No in the second box down ie sgl3 or sgl5 first then the rest of the Vin in the other box and press the square.
Your vehicle details will appear at the top of the page.

ps you may need to use the translator.
