Default Fluid capacity

Could someone post the fluid capacities for the front,middle, and rear differentials as per manual. Is ther any additives that I have to add to the oil in the differential, as I was told some cars require that upon oil change. Also the tranny fluid change is roughly 2.7gts right? Thanks.

In the front, middle and rear diff, you just fill 'til it runs out. Plan on needing 4qts of Synthetic Redline 75w/90 for them. You'll need to suck out the front diff using some 1/8" PVC and adapt that up to fit a mity-vac or similar.

I would plan on at least the 2.7 for the trans, but have more on hand, just in case. I used "Motul" brand ATF in the 3 that I have done and have had excellent results.

No additives, just use synthetics in both the trans and all diffs.

Actually the Red Line oil bottle states that there are additives already addad for slip diff. As for an other brand I bought MAG I believe it states that it's only for top up of slip diff.
