    I was able to do both diffs and the transmission with 8 qts with some spillage and leftover. Thanks guys for the answers. I will have to wait until Monday to get the 75w from the dealer for the Xfer case.

    I use the Redline 70/75 in my transfer case and am happy with it.

    The transfer case holds one liter of fluid. Mine took just a little over one liter.

    If you purchase the Toyota brand oil, the can contains one liter of oil. If you purchase the Redline oil, the bottle contains one quart of oil. So one bottle of Redline will not completely fill your transfer case. You would need to purchase two bottles of the Redline.
