Default Diff oil

Hi
I got a Schumacher swift 2 for next to nowt which has sat for about a year and have striped and cleaned out the diffs and now need to reoil them as ive never rebuilt a diff before

i have some 10,000 weight silicone oil and some 1000 weight diff oil and ned to know what do i put in the center diff and what do i put in the front and rear??


It will be used for bashing and jumping on grass and mud and loose stones in the quarry


EDIT also how much do i need to add do i fill it to the top or just add a few drops??

THANKS

the common setup is 5f 7m 3r but you can put 10m and 10 in the front are you can put a little more 1 and 1 in the rear and i fill mine just a little over the center pin in the diff.
