Fill it back up with some 75W90 or similar gear oil. If you do have a posi, you will want to add a bottle of the friction modifier.

Anything wrong with a synthetic or would you run conventional? Also about how many quarts? 2-1/2? I've run Royal Purple in my other trucks, wonder if that is good to use....I've also thought about something cheaper, running it and then drain and change it again at 1st oil change.
