Rear End Fluid
Decided to change fluid in rear on 1976 . When I pulled the plug it seeped a little out of the hole . But when I siphoned it out there only seems to be around 33 ozs. How much is it suppose hold . Hasn't been changed in 30 years and other then being black , its not real thick and doesn't seem to have anything in it .

Put a smaller hose in it and let it drip all night looks like somewhere between 45 and 50 oz . The additive says 4 oz for 2 to 4 quarts. Do you have to reduce it for under 2 quarts or still use the whole thing?

Another question . Didn't pay a lot of attention when I removed the fill plug . Figured it would be tuff because of it not be removed for over 30 years but wasn't . It did have some surface rust which I removed and the o ring was bad .When I put it back I was able to get a few turns on it by hand to make sure I wasn't cross threaded but it didn't bottom out when I tightened it . I took it back out made sure it was clean and hand threaded it as far as I could but when I tightened it, it still stopped probably 3 turns from bottom .Is this correct ?
