I can't remember the amount right now but 75W90 is the popular weight of oil. There can be a lot of rules on what should be used due to ratings and such but Mobil 1 synthetic gear oil has worked well for my truck's diff.

Not sure about the transfer case; mine's a 2WD!

I use mobile 1 75w-90. as long as its GL-5 rated thats what is needed. and fill to the fill hole. specs call for 1/4" below the fill hole +/- 1/4". so technically you can fill to the bottom of the fill hole..

Don't torque the diff cover bolts to 30 ft-lbs. They can break. Only torque them to 25 ft-lbs.

Before you drain the transfer case make sure you can open the fill plug. Lots of people have had a hard time getting the fill plug out cause it's so tight. It's hard to fill from the drain hole
