Thanks

Sounds close...thought I'd dribbled in a quart and a half, give or take.

A little over a quart. The diff capacity is printed right in the manual, flip to almost the last page.

Thumbs up

Okay cool, I did not want to overfill the unit. I've been accustomed to filling so it just dribbles out of the drain plug.

Thats what I always did, just fill it until it dribbles out the top hole.

is it possible to overfill the diff? Anyways, the fluid will leak out of the fill hole if you put so much...
