How much oil in 8 1/4'' Rear End"
« on: October 29, 2008 - 07:51:01 PM »
I just got the rear plate put back on my 8 1/4'' Rear End. It took me a few days to get the right gasket. My manual says it takes 4.4 pints of oil. When I emptied it, I got a little over a quart out. When I filled it a few minutes ago, it only took a little over a quart, so that seems right ( I think??).
 I'm going to go for a little drive and check the level again, will some of that oil move toward the axles and change the level leaving room for more oil?

4.4 pints is equal to 2.25 qts so not enough , fill until  it is just level with the fill hole , should hold 1 more qt
