From 2000 Model year Ford service manual:

7.5 Inch Rear Axle 1.5 L (3.5 pints) [1]
8.8 Inch Rear Axle (Base & GT) 1.0 L (4.0/3.75 pints) [1]
8.8 Inch Rear Axle (Cobra) 1.4 L (2.9/3.10 pints) [1]
Traction Lok Friction Modifier 4 oz.

[1] -- Service refill capacities are determined by filling the axle 6.3-14.3 mm (0.25-0.57 inch) below the bottom of the filler hole. The vehicle must be on a level surface


From 2000 T-45 model year: Manual Transmission Fluid Capacity 3.1L

1 and an 1/8 quarts on the diff and 3 1/4 on the tranny.....i also highly recommend RP SynchroMax MTF and their gear oil.....no need to add friction modifier to the diff with RP

The GT 8.8 solid diff uses 3.75 to 4.0 pints (75W90 for 2001 and older, 75W140 for 2002+). That's almost two quart bottles. Will have some left over (more if adding friction modifier). Remember it is not fill until it runs out.

Buy 4 quarts of Mecron V (or what ever manual transmission fluid you want) for the T45 manual transmission.

Have you tried to buy a quart of Mecron IV or Dexron III lately? Both have been discontinued.

Ford TSB 06-26-1 authorizes Mecron V to be used in applications formally calling for Mecron IV.

You don't know what a pint is? WTF? 2 pints in a quart...4 quarts=1 gallon...I'm no suzi homemaker, but these are pretty fundamental my friend. Also of note - 16 oz in a pint, 32 oz in a quart, 128 oz in a gallon (and 40 oz in a 'forty' )
