What quantity to "overfill" axle

The filler plug is also the filling level - just fill it till it runs out. If you jack the back up you'll get a little more in. It will be 1.something litres.

PS I think its only the ital axel that benefits from overfilling.

Both need over filling especially if you are doing track work, they both suffer from surge due to the oil moving up the axle tube. How much, depends how you do it, if you are jacking the car up and using the filler, as much as you can get in. If you fill thought the breather I put in about an extra 3/4 l over what goes in via the filler.

 

Cheers
