What is the difference between 75W-90 and 80W-90?

SAE 75W-90 maintains a more consistent thickness, or viscosity, across a wide temperature range. It’s thicker when exposed to high heat and thinner under colder, wintry conditions than 80W-90. The use of 75W-90 gear oil is recognized by OEMs as a contributor to overall fuel economy.

All right, majority of our trucks have the 9.75″ rear end, mine is a 2003 F150, 4wd, 5.4. I’m pretty sure the refill capacity for the rear end is 3 quarts. I replaced the old nasty, rusty diff cover with a g2 ribbed aluminum cover, #40-2012al.

How much gear oil should I purchase for my diff cover?

Well the general rule of thumb is to fill your diff up until the fluid starts to run out the fill hole. This does not estimate how much gear oil you should purchase.

How many quarts do you put in your rear axle?

Zero spillage. My rear axle took just over 2 quarts, or almost 5 pints, it was completely dry assembly. If you have 4 quarts in there, it is way overfull. Heck my trucks big old Dana 70 doesn’t hold 4 quarts. The owners manual calls for 4.5 pints on my 8.5 ten bolt.

How do you drain the oil from the rear differential cover?

Then use a screwdriver to pry open the differential cover allowing the fluid to drain into a bucket or drain pan. Once all the fluid drains out remove the rest of the differential cover bolts and the cover. Use a clean rag to wipe the cover off and clean up the puddled up gear oil in the bottom of the differential.
