Default How much oil in rear diff???
Does anyone know the exact amount of oil to put in the rear diff on a 1980 corvette. My manual does not tell me and I am not sure if going by the drain plug is the correct amout. Just curious, thanks.

Squirt in your posi additive and then pump in the oil until it dribbles out the filler hole on the side.
