How many quarts does the rear and front diff hold? I know you essentially just keep going until it starts overflowing, but I'd rather buy the right amount up front rather than buy too much or too little.

Also, I'm quite confident that I don't have limited slip in my rear. It seems though that most aftermarket fluids, mobil 1 for example, already comes with LS additive in their 75W-140. I assume that using fluid with the additive won't be an issue for a diff that doesn't need it?

The front is just under two quarts and the back is just over two. Also the additive will be fine.
