my 2004 durango ltd. hemi 4x4 just turned 15k miles so it was time for a change of differential lube front and rear according to the schedule b maintenance list. so i pulled up the required fluid types and amounts from my service manual cd and checked for tsbs before ordering 3qt ea. of severe gear 75w90 for the front and 3 qt of 75w140 for the rear from amsoil. im happy to say that the old oil was pretty clean with no nasty chunks. the front went quick and the refill seemed to be about the capacity listed in the sm. i followed the tsb 03-001-04a and pumped in enough to meet the 3/4 below the fill hole by the pipecleaner method. the rear was slightly more time consuming but uneventful. according to the sm i should have pumped in 70 oz. but the level was way below the 7/8 below the fill hole on my 8.25 rear. i kept pumpin until i reached the 7/8 point but used all 3 qt. of the 70w140 to do it less an allowance of a few oz. wasted in the bottles and pump. so maybe 90 oz or so. i triple checked the dipstick level but im still wondering if i overfilled it. i dont think the amsoil is prone to foaming so is it a problem btw no leaks seen. .
