As long as your on level ground just keep filling it up until it slowly drips out, then your good.

+1 fill until it runs out but add the friction modifier first...

+2 and hold your breath when you add the friction modifier.

If you get someone to do your rear, tell them that

I just got my gears done at Ford, it's written onthe bottles "Contains Limited Slip Additive" but when I got my car back, I saw on the bill friction modifier.

So they put RP for me and added friction modifier with it, this shouldn't be a problem right?

Funny you should say that, 1 hour after picking my car up from Ford I went to the track right away. I just got 3.73 installed.

That night I've been cutting 2.0 60ft all night, something I rarely do I have to get used to shifting into 4th during the 1/4mile now.

As for the original question of this thread, just get 2 quarts of gear oil.

I used a little under 2 quarts for my '99. You will need over 2 if you have an aftermarket girdle. Good article for this on bullittarchive.com.
