Differential Fill Level
'79
Just changed the differential lube and I was surprised that at least 5-6 ounces came out when removing the plug. Were these overfilled from the factory?

No, I'm not the original owner and the previous owner died unexpectedly so I have no idea what was done to it in the past. About 54k (verified) on the clock. No sign of leakage and while nearly black the lube seemed nicely viscous. Replaced with the car on four jack stands so it was nearly level.
