Question on front differentail fluid change.
I just changed the fluid of my front differential and it took almost quart to fill up. Is this normal? I mean I did not even use the whole bottle, there was some left. Anyway the way I did it was as I was filling it it started to ooze out a little and thats when you are suppose to stop right?
Any info would be great cuz tomorrow I start school and I dont what to damage anything.
Oh and why does the old oil smell really awful? It smells like diarrhea!

198 RBI (Model 35) 1.83 L (1.9 qts)
