rear oil differential question

Don't know yours specifically, but normally you just fill a diff up to the level of the plug.

 

is it empty?

 

Buy yourself about 3 or 4 of those quart jugs, that should get you close. You may end up going back after another or you may have some left over. Going back for another isn't that big a deal and if you have some left over it isn't that big a deal either it doesn't spoil and you are young enough to won another car in your lifetime.

Thats the way I was always told to do it, if it's level with the hole your good to go.

 

As they said, fill until it runs out the filler hole. A fluid change usually takes between 2 and 3 quarts.

Capacity is 4 pints

multi purpose gear lubricant is used for all rear axles and SAE 90 is recommended for up anything above -10°F

All this is per the 64 Valiant factory service manual, I drug it out just to get you specifics. Hope it helps you out. But typically they are just filled up until they begin to drip from the fill hole.

 

X3..Normally 2 quarts does it (not 3 -4 as mentioned above).

 

Yes, 4 pints is 2 quarts.
