80W90 "hypoid" gear oil. (Either GL4 or GL5...I think?????) It doesn't take much. At your Honda dealer it will be called "shaft drive oil".

Sometimes the clutch packs on these old machines will stick (it will act like it has lockers...hard to steer), and you will need to add a little friction modifier to free things up.

Ask the dealer about the friction modifier. I don't know what it takes or how much.
