Oil questions

First i have a 4.6 1996 auto with 110,000 on the clock and i'm wanting to do an oil change on it which would be the best oil for the job and what qty to fill

second i have a leak on the front diff looks like the pinion seal which i'm going to change has anyone done this repair and does it lose any fluid while changing, how do you check the fuild level in the diff and if topping up is needed what's the correct fluid and how's it done

andy

get the best ya can get and fill it with the dipstick,the diff will leak and to fill use the filler hole till it overflows.do it on the flat.

Ok thanks
but which grade of engine oil would i look for being the best
also which diff oil make and grade
