One quart is enough for the diff.... The transmission needs more than one bottle..

You will need a little LESS than 1 quart for the diff.and a little less than 2 quarts for the tranny.(not same type of oil though.!)

The diff takes 0.78 qt. on fluid change, but this depends on how well it was drained. You simply fill it till it overflows from the fill hole when the car in level. Do you really want a dealer who thinks they need 2 qts to fill your diff to actually touch your car?

Or you can always take your car to Spugen over in Whittier to have it done. Should be fairly cheap since you already have the fluid.
