[snoboardcore]

Just change my diff fluid in my car how much am i suppose to put in?

 

[timewarped1972]

untill it runs out the fill plug i believe, assuming your using the stock fill plug

i put in 2 quarts think i should add more?

 

[timewarped1972]

i believe the text book way is like anything that has a fill plug......fill it till it starts to run out......or, fill it untill you can atleast touch the oil level with your pinky finger if you can get it into the fill hole....

If I remember correctly the capacity is a little under 3 quarts.

It is definately more then 2 quarts so put in another one. It will run out when it is full.

The "text book" says to fill with 2 quarts of synthetic fluid... However, you typically can put in about 2.5 quarts until it starts weeping out of the filler hole. Most people just fill until it drips out the filler hole..

Make sure you are putting in friction modifier with the new fluid. Otherwise your limited slip is gonna bind on you going around turns...

what is friction modifier? I have limited slip additive if thats the same?

Just did mine last week with Mobil 1 and friction modifier. It took about 2.7 bottles (liters). As said above, you will know when it is full. It will come out the fill plug.

its more than 2 less than 3. fill until it runs out. most of the synthetics have friction modifiers built in.

I used valvoline high performance gear oil. Think it has the additive in it already? i used an 80w-90 if that matters.
