On my first deuce I drilled two holes, just like the setup on the toolbox door, but when I tried to insert the padlock I found out there was not enough space between to the fuel tank and the batt box door to use both holes. Since then, I only drill one hole and it seems to do the trick for...
Drilling a single hole to lock the battery box is one of the first mods I make to my deuces. I believe it will will discourage all but the most determined thief. It only takes 5 - 10 minutes to drill the hole and gives me some peace of mind.

I use Delo 15W-40, but I would go with any quality diesel rated 15W-40.
My first M35A2 had 15W-40 stenciled on the underside of the hood so you could not miss it when the hood was up.:-D
