Default old topic on differential oil change

please excuse my laziness, I know it is nothing new but planning to do the differential oil change on my 2000 XJR,

can any one tell me Exactly what oil I would need, how much (by volume) I would need. if I need any extract parts for the good maintenance?

also I/my mechanic need any special instruction manual

thank you

You may want to take the opportunity to clean the breather on the diff while you're in the neighborhood.
My axle seals were weeping but after soaking the breather in solvent and blowing it dry they seem to have stopped.
I read about someone else here on the forum who found the same thing...

1.9 quarts approximately. It's a little harder to find, but I use Mobil Delvac 1 75w-90. It's designed for open differentials only (no limited slip additives) and is slightly thicker than Mobil 1 LS 75w-90.
