    An SAE30 oil meeting Cat TO-4 specification is what you need. If you want Rolls-Royce then go for Cat TDTO oil, otherwise a good branded oil company product would be fine. The full system capacity is listed as approximately 28 gallons. However you may find that you can't drain anywhere near that quantity out of the transmission. If you are working on steep side slopes the quantity of oil in the power train should be increased by 10%.
