Multigrade 80w90 GL5 1.7ltr is the quantity required in each diff, how much? what ever u want to pay. :)
 
just done both diffs, the way i done it was to attach a piece of pipe/hose to a funnel with a mesh filter and then just add the oil and the jobs really easy. I used a big plastic milk bottle with the top cut off to catch the old oil, job took about 20 mins all in all. the other thing i would add is always undo the top (filler) plug 1st because if you undo the bottom (drain) plug and then cant undo the top one you will end up with an empty diff and no way of filling it.
 
Transfer box, 2.3 litres? same oil? if so im gonna need some more as ive only got about 1.5L left. is it a tricky job? seen this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290445278576&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT worth getting?

Also the other little thing that concerned me slightly was that when i drained them the oil was already just past the filler plug level and dribbled out. I measured 1.7L in each diff and neither overflowed like the old oil, should i top up a little or were mine a little overfilled? cheers:).
