Default Axle fluid volume

Might be kinda a silly question but, when the manuel says driving axle they are talking about the diffs right ?, and also how much fluid do they hold ? Need to know how much RP to buy before gettting them changed.

I think it was about 3 quarts of each requires weight should do it and if you put Royal Purple in you don't have to add the LS additive. I e-mailed Royal Purple Tec. about that before I changed mine.
