Default Differential Capacity

Drained the differential (Final Drive). The book says it takes 1.4 US qts to refill.
My 94 has the fill hole on the back of the differential, and is suppose to be filled up to that hole. I put in almost 2 qts and it is still don't starting to come out of the fill hole. I have the car raised on ramps and wonder if the down angle could be the issue. I can always drain a 1/2 qt back out. Any Ideas?

Thanks...Jimmy

It stands to reason that the downward slope is the problem, yes.

Get the front end up on jackstands to level things out.

Or drain the oil and add 1.4 quarts as per spec
