If you have time, take out the drain plug and allow to drain for a while.

Measure the amount when filling. Too much gear lube makes a mess coming out the vent.

The drain plug is the bottom bolt in the middle of the rear end???

Thanks for the down load, I didnt get an Owners manual when I had it converted and I thought that was strange. I didnt know abut the rear end even needing oil change untill I stumbled upon it on the internet.

Thanks once again

I have to wonder why "no synthetic" gear lube in the differential?? That's a new twist.....
