Amount/kind of lube in rear differential?

[Mike Hohnstein]

The fill port is a little below the centerline of the pinion. It is located on
the curb side of the differential. Fill port is just that, it is located as to
not overfill the assembly, full is oil level at the bottom of the hole. It is
critical that the vent on the road side axle be open and functional.
Renewing the rear lube is not a bad thing, I use 80/140 wt, buy a 5 gallon
bucket if you want to change it all. Pretty cheap at farm supply stores.

(1) I removed the top plug, from the rear differential, and had to insert
nearly my entire index finger before locating any lube. Am I correct in
assuming that the lube is low? (2) What type lube should I use to refill? (3)
There was a second plug, located lower, which I assume is the drain plug.
Should I drain the lube before adding more? Thanks. Henry@...
