Dif 1 quart, you'll use 9/10 of the bottle

Trans 2qts, you'll use about 1 and 3/4.

since people use mobil 75w90, you can use redline 75w90...but make sure you don't get the shockproof (or something like that)...just regular 75w90 gear oil.

billman recommends mobil 1 75w90, why don't you just get that if you can't find le607?

my recollection tells me the shockproof is not good...

for redline, just regular 75w90 gear oil.
