.78qts IIRC, but that's neither here nor there. Just keep pumping until it comes out.

actually dickbiter i answered your question several times over...

link #1 answered both questions...

"buy a helms....

raise car ( hyd. jack or lift)
jack stands
open drain plug
remove fill plug
let fluid drain INTO A PAN not the floor
reinstall drain plug tight......
with pump fill diff back up till fluid flows out...

pump can be found at any auto parts and makes it 150% way easier.
fluis is personal pref. i like royal purple "

link #2 discusses different fluids and what people use including royal purple which you asked in your original post...

link #3 also discusses different fluids just in case you wanted an alternative option...

So explain to me how I didnt answer your question??? I actually went above and beyond what you asked and you have to come back like a sarcastic *****... Maybe you should actually fawking search next time you lazy bitch...

Fill it until it overflows out of the fill hole. Should be Around 1.2qt i think.

that's pretty much the way to do it. I don't think it takes a full quart though.

yeah it is definitely less than one. We did an ap1 and ap2 together at a tech day, both used less than one quart. This was the first time change and it was dirty as hell. I've heard every 60k to change

I would have to go back and look, but, I think the recommendation is far sooner than 60k miles. 25k rings a bell for some reason and sooner under more spirited driving conditions.

I first changed mine at 15k and I am due again at 22k.
