Default Rear Diff capacity?
Can anyone tell me what the rear diff capacity is on an x300?

Seeing on the Amsoil website, it says it's 2.7 pints which is about 1.35 quarts.

Does that sound right?

1.35qts should be the 'top-up' only amount. Full refill is a bit over 2qts. Here's a full discussion with pics & suggestions: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...-change-60513/

I had mine changed while the XJR was at the mechanics for a coolant leak. It used just a bit under 2 qts.

Thanks for replies guys!

Now when you guys fill it up, do you guys fill it while its jacked up in the air until the fluid starts to come out of the filler hole?

Fill it flat on the ground until it comes out. If the cat is on an angle it will compromise the level.
