Less than 3 quarts...

If you overfill it, it will blow out thru the vent during WOT blasts.

OK, thanks.

I know to fill it up to the plug level and no more... it would be non conducive to spew it all over the track...

When I called Moser and asked about the fluid capacity, they were not able to tell me how much it took. It differs based upon the gearing, differential type (posi, locker, spool) and the type of cover you use.

thanks guys

I just kept adding it to the side plug until it came back out. It held right add 2.5 quarts. Seemed kinda low to me too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

thats odd...wonder why there is so much variance <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> Even my install directions told me to add 4 qts <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

that makes sense...the locker is definately a tiny carrier compared to a full blown posi <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
