How much lube.....
 

Hey changing my gears in about 5 days how much gear lube do I need? I think its 2 quarts but just making sure.

The shop that will do it should know, but 2 qts sounds about right! :)

3 quarts. And don't forget the traction modifier for the limited slip.

The lube i'm using has the modifier in it......are you sure it's 3 quarts?

Just received my gears, kit and fluids from JEGS, tech support said it only needed 2 quarts and the modifier was optional. I went with RedLine 80W140. Then again once you get to the shop it might take 3 but they should have any fluids you need. Plus I've always heard you should do a 500 mile break in, then drain and refill the fluids. Might be overkill, but its always better safe than sorry.

Thats from AMSOIL's website.

Cool info... 3.8 Pints Equals 1.9 Quarts... So 2 quarts will be perfect for our 8.8's
