How much diff oil?

I am planning on changing the diff oil this weekend, and am not sure how much to buy.

Thanks
-Joey

buy two quarts. It won't take all of it, but it is more than one.

And, be sure to undo the fill plug first. You don't want to empty the diff to find out that the fill plug won't come off.
