I use plain vanilla Havoline, the same oil I've used for 30 years, and see no reason to change.

Yes, the front differential is separate from the transmission; the dipstick is on the passenger side of the tranny. I don't remember the gear lube spec, but it's in the owner's manual, if you have one. Pretty sure factory spec is different for the front and rear.

Nice looking car. I like the tan interior.

Well thank you. After checking the front diff, it smells like 75-90 to me. I'll probably just stop at the local store and pick up some Amsoil synthetic for the diffs and change that out. Also, the previous owner put in a K&N drop in, but I'm curious if there are any actual aftermarket intakes. If not, I am certainly no stranger to fabrication and I'll probably just weld up my own!
