Need Help Asap
My truck is a 2004 Ranger with an 8.8 rear with the 4.10LS gears. I just changed out the fluid in my rear differential. The owners manual says that it should take 2.5 liters. The common rule of thumb that I've heard is that you want to fill it up till it pours out. I've got just under 3 liters of gear oil in there and I still can't feel it when I put my finger in there.
So I've got more than what Ford recomends, yet I don't have enough for the common rule of thumb. Am I good, or should I run to the store and ge more?

Well, they only had two liters of Lucas at the store, and no LS additive, so I bought the two liters of Lucas and added one more of something else. I decided to leave it as is, because my truck wasn't sitting anywhere near level when I was filling it up.
Here was my test of the LS... two wheel peel baby.
