Rear SVX diff questions????

I will be getting another diff for my JDM svx.
I am just wondering how you would check to make sure its in good condition before i put it in.
Also what sort of diff fluids should i put in it. ( ive known of an guy that got all the fluids replaced on his SVX including diffs. Any way Just after it got done the diff packed an big sad and had to get it replaced )
also should i replace any seals?

Thanks

You can't really tell much from the outside, only if it is a 3.7:1, viscous.

The lube is a GL-5, 85W oil, about 800cc.

I would not worry about the seals, unless there show sings of leaking. If you do, you should be prepared to rebuild it.
