Bevel box/drive shaft

Heys looking for some tips and advice....
Ive just changed oil and filter on my rocket and now going to do the drive shaft. What's the best oil to put in it and any pitfalls I should be aware of? It's the same old story, once you've done it you know what you're doing but this is a first time for me. Your advice and tips would be much appreciated. Thanks guys!

Mobile 1 75W90 full syn GL5 works for me. Since it is only about 6 oz., I change it every spring. The tricky part is to be very carful when reinstalling the small drain bolt. Torque only to 15 NM. The big fill plug torques to 60 NM but I only tighten mine to 50 NM.

Thanks IMFASTTOO and TO rocket, yeah that's not a bad idea guys. How do you lube the splines? That's definitely going into unknown territory haha

YOU must lube the splines everytime you change the back tire or no longer than 10,000 miles
