Engine oil
#46
Main point is not to overfill the axle. The level plug is a bit too high and if you fill it up to the mark, oil will tend to travel down the side tubes and reach the brakes, especially the Near Side. I find about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch below the level plug is about right and leads to dry brakes.

Oh, and at this time of year, it pays to take the drain plug out, when emptying the axle and let it drain overnight. Thick oil gets even thicker in the cold! No need to bother with flushing as long as the old oil all drains out.
