The book says 1.8 US pints without OD, 3.3 US pints drain and refill with
OD. (Some of the oil is trapped in the OD, capacity from dry is given as
4.2 US pints.)

Factory recommendation until 1960 or so was motor oil, either 20,30 or 50
weight depending on climate. I use Valvoline 20W50 racing (motor) oil in
mine. Lots of people use SAE 90 (or 80W90) gear oil and seem to have no
problem. Note that the 'weight' system is different for motor oil and gear
oil. SAE 90 gear oil is very roughly equivalent in viscosity to SAE 40
motor oil.
