Default gear oil for danas60

What gear oil is recommended for my danas60? Does it need some kind of additive like I've heard? And would I be able to buy at my local auto parts store? I'm gonna be pressing the bearings onto my axles in a bit and would like to know what oil to buy so I can install back in my car today. It's got aTru Trac posi by the way! Oh and how many quarts would it take cuz this rearend is bigger so I'm guessing it would need more than 2 quarts? Any advice would be appreciated guys!

Truetrac diff's don't require any additional addatives. Just use regular 80/90 GL-5 rated gear oil for the break-in period and then whatever you like after that.
