3 quarts of Redline 75/90W w/ that bottle of friction mod. Kinda expensive stuff though but really good oil.

Correct... or 80W90 will work just fine. One or the another in synthetic is the way to go. Usually the 8.8 take's a little less then 3 Litres although it's pretty darn close.... fill it till oil just starts coming out of the fill hole and you'll be good to go.
