Ive run Amsoil in my rig for quite some time; however, I couldnt tell you the exact capacities - seems like all 3 were around 1.5-2 qts each.

The transfer case takes a little more than 2 quarts of ATF+4 transmission fluid. The rear 11.5 diff. will take 122 oz. or 3.8 quarts and the front 9.25 will take 76 oz. or 2.375 quarts. I use Redline 75w/90 and Mobil Delvac as well, so I cannot comment on the Amsoil product.

Two more fluids that are oftentimes overlooked until problems arise are the power steering fluid and brake fluid. I recommend you consider performing a flush of these systems as well. I use Valvoline ATF+4 in the power steering system and ATE TYP 200 or Castrol SRF brake fluid with stainless steel Speedbleeders to make the procedure simple.

The series 2000 75w90 was really talked up when it came out and I tried it in my 97 d80 and it did very poorly. I hope the severe gear is better. Craig
