Ken Hand (Handy Car Care), a former V V guy and full time Corvair Repair guy, is an Amsoil dealer. So are several other  V V members, who should be able to assist .  Amsoil has a website where you can read all about it.

that ULTRA series diff fluid has been carefully drained from dozens of 
used 
manual transaxle units,
even less carefully strained through often used cheesecloth to remove bits of gear and synchro,
and may also be certified that some of it may have originally been added at the Saginaw gear plant in Buffalo, NY during the original production run---so you know you're getting the right stuff <GGG>.  Your ULTRA parts supplier should have a product bulletin available with all the particulars.

And dont forget all ULTRA oil comes in a premium re-useable 1 gallon milk 
jug.  With Crayon-on-Napkin instruction sheet.
