2000 Mustang V6, 7.5" open diff. 71K miles. Out factory fill? In 3.1 pints 75W90 Valvoline synthetic. Used a lube pump to pump the old lube out the fill hole, measured to see if I got all of it out.

2013 Tundra 4WD with 7,700 miles Out: Factory fill In: Amsoil Severe Gear 75w-90 Rear diff took 3.8 quarts, front diff took 1.8 quarts. Nice thing about Toyotas is that all the diffs have drain plugs. Used a MityVac 7201 to pump it in. Super easy job.

1994 Olds Cutlass Ciera, 97,500 miles. Out: 50% factory fill, 50% whatever the dealership put in in a 2006 drain/fill/filter service. In: about 7 quarts MaxLife Dex/Merc and Wix filter. Not convinced the filter has a good seat, but I think the pan holds it in in addition to the seat around the filter neck. Definitly was a layer of fine particulate in the pan and on the magnet.

2002 Silverado Front Diff: Out... Durablend 80W90 In... Same Drain plug was the usual nasty looking thing... kinda surprising because this fill was less than 2 years old. JP

01 300M 120k miles originally added Royal Purple 75w90 Max gear, unfortunately I had a little bit of a whine. I drained and refilled with Oreilly's Master Pro GL-5 80w90 and has been perfect ever since... Now I have about a quart of Royal Purple Max Gear sitting around begging to be used, maybe next time... frown
