I used 3.3 quarts 80w90 gear oil. That will get you close. You really need to check it buy removing the fill plug and it should just run out. I ran a tube from the fill plug hole up the top of my car in the engine compartment and pumped it in until it ran out.Then jacked it back up and put the fill plug back in. Good luck.

I don't know for sure. I would not recommend it however. In my opinion the thinner the oil the more noise (whine) the gears would make in the tranny.
