    Manual calls for 75w-90 and somewhere around 3 qts IIRC, you can find the amount in your manual. Fill her up level with the fill hole. Don't worry about any special oils, you have an e-locker, not a posi so you need just regular ass oil. Loosen fill plug before drain plug.

    Thanks again guys.
    I wasn't sure if the rear diff locker (elock) made any difference in what/how much fluid.
    3qts of 75w90 will do it ?

    85-140 for the rear diff for hard use (i.e. offroad travel or frequent towing). Mileage will suffer a little bit.

    75-90 is fine for the front diff and t-case.
