Look on the euro car parts website, enter the details of a later tyre erst and it should tell you, I'm also pretty sure there was a thread on passion ford a little while ago about it

Just regular gear oil, same as the non-LSD gearbox. The viscous part of the LSD is fully enclosed / sealed with it's own fluid, so the gear oil makes no difference to it (unlike a plate type LSD). I will probably be using fully synthetic too.

On a related point, I have seen reconditioned gearboxes with a sticker on them that says to fill with engine oil. Does anyone know why, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of this?
