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.

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