Default Gearbox Oil

First of all I need to know how to drain a s2 lsd box of all its oil ready to be refilled.

Also I need to know what oil to fill it back up with, I've been told not to use the comma stuff as it eats diff's? :-?

Any help appreciated

It is not possible to drain all the oil out of an RST gearbox. There is a drain-bung, but you won't get it all out.

This is why my gearbox has had a drain-bung retro-fitted on the bottom of it.

Meh.. Aint that a kick in the gonads.

So how would I go about changing the oil then because surely it cant be good to leave the remainder of the old stuff in there?
