I put a new cover on my diff today. LPW cover. It has a fill and a drain plug. Since the regular fill plug was seized and stripped I used the cover's.
My issue is that stock it takes 5.5 pints, or 2 1/2 bottles. I put 11 pints, or 5 1/2 bottles until it reached the fill plug since I had not other way of determining the fluid it needed. It says "increased fluid capacity" but that seemed like a TON to me, but I was having a crappy day, so after several additional trips to the store I got it filled. It was not cheap, not at 12 bucks a bottle...
What is your thoughts on 11 pints??? Please don't tell me I have to dump it out. I'll cry. That was 72 dollars in fluid.
Here is the site for the cover: http://www.lpwracing.com/Ultra_FORD/Ultra_FORD.html
