I think the factory service manuals says the capacity is 5 pints Years ago when Direct Connection was sponsoring the drag seminars the Mopar drag race engineers recommended using only one quart of gear lube in both the Dana 60 and 8 3/4, they said the rest of the fluids in them where for noise contaiment only I run a spool in my Dana 60 in my (limited) street (less than 500 miles a year on the street) and strip Duster, 80 runs last year. I filled the Dana 60 up to the filler plug, over three quarts, two years ago, I drain it this past winter and put half that amount back in, no troubles so far after 15 passes
