One for the transmission, and one for the rear end. The weights are listed in the owner's manual, and I personally use redline oils in both.

The MT (manual transmission) and the rear diff both use a "heavy" weight automotive gear oil. In a pinch (worst case!) you could use the same oil in both the transmission and the diff. HOWEVER, you should just use the oil weights as specified in the owner's manual.

I'm using Redline MT-85 in the transmission, and Redline 90w in the diff.
