What fluid for drive gears

Hello,

What is the fluid spec and capacity for the drive gear housing?

There are 3 plugs too, is it fill from the top plug until the fluid is at the middle plug?

Also it is making a grinding noise and low on power, suspecting the brushes. Anyone have specs on those?

Yes fill from top plug until it comes out of the middle plug. 90 weight lube. Those drive units are naturally noisy
