differential requires 1 qt but its better to buy 2 b/c its hard to get all of the fluid out of the first bottle! you also need a bottle of friction reducer unless its already integrated in the fluid your using...

i don't know how much the tranny holds... check your user manual.

Just poor in the friction reducer and fill up what's left with differential fluid. That's how much you need
