Just bought a 901 transaxle with a Quaiffe LSD in it. Any recommendations for oil type and quantity for it. Don't want to burn it up.

Maybe just ask Quaiffe...
From their website: http://quaife.co.uk/customer-service/technical-support/ What sort of gear oil should I use ? When running a Quaife ATB helical gear limited slip Differential in a standard transaxle gearbox, we recommend that you use whatever your vehicle’s manufacturer recommends. The Quaife ATB Differential does not require any special lubricants. When running Quaife gearbox internals and a Quaife ATB differential – we recommend FuchsTitan SYN5 75W90. For a Quaife ATB differential, running in a rear axle – use a hypoid 90 or 75W90, as above. For those applications that will accept a GL5 or SAE75W90 gear oil, we recommend and sell Silkolene SYN5 75W90 gear oil. We use Silkolene in all our own Quaife racing transmissions |
