It is best to use an oil that says hypo on the lable. The shaft drive is suppose to use this special type oil.

yup
Thats ok to use just make sure its fresh and clean.
I find that just after you replace the oil and come back from a ride it needs to be topped up again. Theres no leaks or nothing but the oil just has to settle back down a bit.
