Default How many quarts?

How many quarts of gear oil does the differential take ona 2001 TA (stock)? I put in one quart then gear additive and then putting in the second quart most of it came out? Someone clarify how much I need and why did the oil come out?

It should take almost all of the second quart if your car is leveled. It should start pouring out of the fill hole once you're at about the last 1/4 of the quart.

I just keep pumping until it starts to come out.. and I never really know how much it takes since I have to refill the bottle and pump in more fluid till I'm done. Best bet would to check after a good drive.

Fill to overflow is correct however, if you put it in too fast the oil is so thick it gathers near the center section and doesn't flow everywhere. Therefore, in about a hour you'll be low and you could burn some **** up possibly. I just like to make sure with my stuff ya know.

That's why I do it the slow way and when it starts dripping out I'm done.

Make sure the car is on level ground of cores.
