Default Diff and Tranny Fluid Change

I read the write ups, and I think it said the trans takes 2 qts, but it didn't say for the diff. Can anyone tell me? I dont want to not have enough fluid when the car is up on jacks empty.

you need to buy 2 qt, but it doesn't take 2 qt. method 1: jack car up, put in 2 full qts, drop car to level, let excess drain out the fill hole. This will leave you will perfect level. method 2: put car level on jack stands, fill up until fluid starts to drain out.

same for diff. If you jack it up, fill up w/ whole 1 qt, drop car to level, let excess drain out. You can get at the diff without jacking it up, so in this case, just fill it until it starts to drip out.
