10W30. Do not under any circumstances run gear oil. And yes, pour it in until it runs out the fill hole

Not synchromesh, just plain old cheap 10W30 motor oil.

It's too thin for older D-series trannys though, '96+ S40 trannys you should run MTF in (they actually shift like crap with 10W30) but the older S20 trannys should have 10W30 in them.
