how much oil does the diff hold?

how much oil does the front and rear diff hold in our trucks?

I need to drop the covers and replace the oil. I've never done it and as far as I know the previous owner never did it either!

If you have the limited slip diff, don't forget your additive in the rear. Drain your oil into a pan, then slowly drain the pan into a container. Look for metal shavings, chunks, particles. Tells you a story of the condition of the axle.
