I recently had a S 60 made from Strange engineering... ULTIMATE cover, 4;56 with a spool and Strange 35 spline axles.. The fill hole is almost at the TOP of the cover,, way ABOVE the top of the axle tubes.. i KNOW it doen't need THAT MUCH gearlube... ANY IDEAS????

I've run them as low as 2 quarts of 75W-90 synthetic gear lube but my last go round I put in 3 quarts.

street/highway or track?

highway you run it up to the filler hole

track only you can run a little less, like put your pinky in the drain hole if you can touch lube you are fine

check here, most everyone I know that races uses synthetic now
