What fluid should I be putting in this,regular old synthetic gear oil?
Anything special this thing requires?

Can't seem to find a definitive answer in my searching.
 
Rear or centre?

My mechanic recommends semi-synthetic for the centre diffs/gearboxes in Subarus and Hondas, as fully synthetic can be "too slippery" (and cause problems).

As per manual for the rear diff housing.

If you are talking about the non-Newtonian fluid in the diff unit itself, that's a whole different ball game.
