You can use widely available 80W90 gear oil with 3 ounces of G15 limited slip additive (from an auto parts store) or use the Yamalube Friction Modified Shaft Drive Gear Oil (which is gear oil premixed with a limited slip additive).

You can do an online search, I was able to get the 2017 full maintenance manual (400 pages) for under $50 a few years ago.
