Hey guys I'm fixing to change out my manual tranny's transmission fluid with RP MAX Gear. I'm also wanting to change out the rear diff as well but I'm not sure how much fluid it requires??

Anyone got some feedback on this?

I keep a pdf of the manual on my pc. You can get an Owner's manual here (from our "wiki" tab) above. This is from the 2011 manual.

Technical Data 12-3
Application
Capacities
Metric English
Rear Axle Fluid
V6 Engine 6–Speed Automatic 0.9 L 1.0 qt
V6 Engine 6–Speed Manual* 0.9 L 1.0 qt
V8 Engine* 0.9 L 1.0 qt
Transmission Fluid (Pan Removal and Filter Replacement)
V6 Engine 6–Speed Automatic** 6.3 L 6.7 qt
V8 Engine 6–Speed Automatic** 6.3 L 6.7 qt

V8 Engine 6–Speed Manual 3.9 L 4.2 qt
Wheel Nut Torque 190Y 140 lb ft
*Add 2.5 oz. (75 mL) of friction modifier to the specified quantity of axle lubricant.
**See Automatic Transmission Fluid on page 10‑14 for information on checking fluid level.
All capacities are approximate. When adding, be sure to fill to the approximate level, as recommended in this
manual. Recheck fluid level after filling.

Also search other threads in this forum specifically for transmissions and drivetrains....there is a lot of info that will help.

It's a great adventure!
