hi i have a turbo 400 and i was wondering if any one here knows aproximatly how much oil it should take. Also i plan on changing the oil in the differential it is a 12 bolt with 3:73`s and i think is a limited slip wat oil and how much of it shouold that take.

thanks for any help,
George

Are you just dropping the pan, or are you filling from rebuild?? The diff IIRC is around 2 qts, I usually fill til the fluid starts to run out of the fill hole, Fluid for dilff 90w gear oil, the trans dextron trans fluid.
