That is good for the Trans Fluid, the trans fluid is seperate from the engine oil 10w-40 for the engine oil.

Any Trans you would use Gear oik like 80w-90 or 75w-90 etc for rear ends. As to how much is a question you will have to find out. When you drain it, measure how much came out and put in about 2 more OZs than what came out. They don't tell you how much it holds but it does not hold a hell of a lot since it is a Splash System.

The Drain bolt should be Under the case and the fill should either be on top or high on the ond of the sides. You can usually tell the difference between the Oil Fill and Drain bolt from the bolts that actuall hold the case together .

Iron...I have a magnum 300 and I use 75w/90w in trans and in axle. I live in Florida and put 20-60 miles a day on it. Use synthetic oil for best protection

You ok on fluid you got. as far as how much when you drain out old put in plug and fill from top till is runs out hole you are filling from. Your belt drive is dry system. only other system is engine oil change oil early it's cheeper then engine replacement. you may have a grease zirk on rear end that needs attention. Check all bolts and nuts and lock tight is a must.
