How much does it hold? Is the old method of filling till its almost at the fill plug too much?

Per the factory service man: 8.75 housing holds, 4.4 pints 3.5 Imperial GL-5 or equivalent, fill till it weeps out the fill plug, then install plug. Burn rubber at earliest convenience.(Seriously it says that!) :biggrin:

1 pint=16 ounces or 551 ML. So total capacity would be approx. 70.4 ounces total.

Cool, thanks. 4.4 pints seems like alot lot, but i'll just make sure i buy enough.

Yes. It has to be just starting to run out of the hole to be at the correct level. If you have a sure-grip you need to use limited slip diff oil or add an additive.
