PSA about diff oil

[ItstheHOFF]

I changed my rear diff oil today. It only took 3 bags of amsoil, when 5.5 pints of oil is recommended. I was afraid I did something wrong until I realized I ordered quarts and not pints. So now I have a lot of extra oil. And it was not cheap. FYI, 1 quart = 2 pints.

Can’t we just accept the metric system and move on?

Kind of funny how we tossed out the king but kept his measurements.

Just think of it as having oil already for future changes, lol.

I pretty much did the same mistake when changing the transfer case fluid. Was pumping it in thinking I had a lot to go then all of a sudden it started pouring out the fill hole. At least it was ATF and not stinky gear oil

Not a fan of empirical metrics, like you said we tossed out the king for a reason. However I will admit, mm sockets are a lot easier to guess than fractions. For volume, I’ll take oz over ml any day.

Ok, that's pretty funny.
