It's Not Important Bro
I have a low mile LSD and am doing some driveline mods... clutch, shifter etc... etc..

I have narrowed my search (using the search function - YES) down to Redline 75W90 or Royal Purple 80W90.

I can't seem to find how many ounces it takes to change the Diff Oil.
How Much?

Both Red Line and Royal Purple have the friction modifier in the formulation.

I would remove the fill plug 1st before I drained it ;)

Wow, good call. I thought for sure it was still separate, but you're right. It tricked me before that they sell the modifier separate. Just assumed it wasn't already mixed in. What an ass I am for assuming that. ;)

Manual trans you can get away with it as you can fill through the shifter. You're pretty screwed if the diff does it unless you want to try the breather...
