Off topic maybe? HAHA

Senseless, most info you can find up in the FAQ section. Also, if you go to Amsoils website and enter in your info, it will give you capacities and types. This is another great site to visit.

To the OP; I just used Mobil 1 full syn in the diffs. The bottle, like RP, has a tip on the end. I just snipped off the end and the bottle itself acts like a funnel.

I'll answer that in a pm or if you have any type of instant messenger, I have about all of em. Senseless I recommend 75 - 140 for the weight and the bottle will of course be purple and called High Performance gear oil. Two bottles filled my rear diff on the dot to where it's sposed to be, your rear should be the same and your front I don't have a clue. 4x4 is not something I have alot of knowledge about let alone IFS 4x4's.

You need to take the diffs off to drain old oil since there is no drain plug. Then after reattaching the diffs, you use the fill hole to refill with fluid.

You gotta pull the covers to let the oil out, then you can inspect everything clean it all up and then replace the cover with a nice new coat of RTV sealant. Then let the sealant setup a bit and fill her up.

Here look at this. It will give you an idea on what to do. Its the same process for the most part, just this is an example on a 2WD 10.5 diff so it holds a bit more fluid. Your 9.25 rear takes around 4.9 pints according to amsoil.
