Angry How much differential fluid? Best way?

I am putting a chrome differential cover on my 8.8" and it is turning into an ordeal. How much fluid does it hold. I have already spilled about 1/4 of a quart on the driveway. I have two quarts of Red Line. I know that you have to fill until the fluid is level with the fill hole, but how much is that? Do I have enough left. I bought this piece of **** tube attachment that does not fit the Red Line bottles and now I am jerry rigging. Anybody know of an easy way to fill this up? None of the pumps seem to fit the small Red line bottle.

well im sorry i cant help you with the amount of fluid that is needed but i have used an old water bottle (the ones with the little nozzle that opens and shuts) and filled that with the fluid. then just squirt the fluid into the diff. repeat that untill its full.

or else you can just get those funnels that have the opening at an angle so you can still get the fluid into the funnel while its tipped sideways.

now that i have you completely confused..... try anything!

hope it helps
