Default Diff/Tranny Fluid Amounts?

On my 2001 Z06 the Diff fluid was 2 qts. and the Tranny fluid was 4 qts. Is this the same volumes recommended by GM for my 2005 C6?

I can't answer that, but side info is that the Shop Manual allegedly says that changing the differential fluid requuires a 300 mile breakin, even if no other work was done on the diff. Lots of speculatin as to why, but no definite answers.
