finding out what oil and what quantity is just a search away!

make sure you can undo the oil filler plugs BEFORE you drop the oil out of the drain plugs. Old oil is better than NO oil..!!!

there's plently of other guides in busters section with photos, although this one is covered in detail in the Haynes including how to set swivel arm resistance (was some time ago, maybe wrong terminology!)

Do you have a haynes manaul? it's all in there, and is quite straighforward.
Car on level ground, undo filler plugs, undo drain plugs. When oil drained re fit filler plugs, re-fill with oil (or grease for swivels) and then refit filler plugs

The axles, and transfer box are full when the oil comes out of the filler plug. But as Graham says, get a manual, either a Haynes paper one or a Rave electronic one. everything you need is in there
