Transmission oil?

I need to replace my front drive axle as my CV boot had a tear in it. My buddy said that I needed to grab some transmission fluid as when I remove the drive axle the transmission fluid will leak out.

There in lies my question. I have a Yaris 2008 Manual transmission and when I check the owner's manual I see:
Quote:
CLUTCH
Pedal free play, mm (in.):
5—15 (0.2—0.6)
Fluid type:
SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3
MANUAL TRANSAXLE
Oil capacity, L (qt., Imp. qt.):
1.9 (2.0, 1.7)
Oil type:
Gear oil API GL−4 or GL−5
Recommended oil viscosity:
SAE 75W−90
AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
Fluid capacity (drain and refill), L (qt.,
Imp. qt.): 2.5 (2.6, 2.2)
Fluid type:
Toyota Genuine ATF Type WS
Change automatic transmission fluid only
as necessary.
Generally, it is necessary to change
automatic transmission fluid only if your
vehicle is driven under one of the Special
Operating Conditions listed in your
“Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or
“Owner’s Manual Supplement”. When
changing the automatic transmission fluid,
use only “Toyota Genuine ATF Type WS”
(ATF JWS3324 or NWS9638) to aid in
assuring maximum transaxle performance.
Notice: Using automatic transmission
fluid other than “Toyota Genuine ATF
Type WS” may cause deterioration in
shift quality, locking up of your transmission
accompanied by vibration, and
ultimately damage the automatic transmission
of your vehicle.
Please contact your Toyota dealer for further
details.
What is the oil that I would need in case the fluid leaks out? GL-4 or GL-5? or do I need SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3(or is this between the clutch pedal and the clutch)?

I'm fairly new here but from what I've seen people recommend RedLine oil or Amsoil GL4 75W90 gear oil for the manual transmission on the Yaris.

DOT 3 is actually brake fluid that is also used in clutch systems.

I'll look around for the links I had to the RedLine oil and the Amsoil websites for the products.

EDIT: Here's the links to what the products are. You can put GL5 in the Yaris Manual transmission but it seems to be highly recommended to use GL4 instead.

GL4 is what seems to be mostly used in the Yaris manual transmission. GL5 seems to not be the ideal oil to use apparently from the research I've done around this site. The two most popular oils seem to be the RedLine and AMSOIL gear lube (GL4 75W90 synthetic oil). The DOT 3 is actually just brake fluid (It is also used in the clutch hydraulic system, hence why it's shown under fluid type for clutch).
