EP80/90, it takes 1.1 litres. Go for synth if you can get it.

As above.

You'll need a big allen key 'hex' driver to undo the filling and drain plugs (14 or 17mm IIRC). Remember to undo the filling plug first in case it's stuck/siezed.

You don't want to drain the diff to find out that you can't refill it
