I've filled diffs up that are in the car when its not level and had no problems.A diff thats filled not level won't actually have a great deal of extra oil in it than one filled whilst level,probably only a 100 ml or so not enough to cause any real problems.Unless of course your car is jacked up at a 45 degree angle
I'd probably fill it to the filler hole anyway especially if its a dry fill as some of the oil will eventually travel along the axle tubes and stay in there.
Never had a 9 inch........ well...... a 9 inch &*#@ diff that is

but I'd guess about 2 litres or so of diff oil would just about do it.
I'd just use any quality brand 80/90 EP gear oil.
