Default Differential fluid change w/Redline...?


Questions -

How much will I need?

Which grade is recommended? The 75W90?

Since the 75W90 comes with included limited-slip additive, will I need anything else?

4 quarts and you don't need any additive. OOPS! I meant 2 quarts!

Not to step on any toes, but I beleive the service manual only says 1.69 quarts. I could be wrong though.

You are absolutely right! I was thinking of the transmission. Sorry!

And don't spill any. If you do, make sure you don't place your head in the puddle of it. It smells awful and doesn't come out of hair very easily. Don't ask how I know... :leaving:
