i put in 2L so far and it seems a small amount for the giant diff.
the axels seem almost impossible to pull out again so i want to get it right (no plugs)
thanx!

According to Castrol 2.3 litres for a 9" in a XY GT.

If you have an LSD make sure you use the correct oil.

There are different style 9" housings and I am fairly sure these have differing oil capacities.

On the passengers side of the case there is a filler plug, fill till oil starts to drain back out.
It can be undone with a 3/8 ratchet and extension bar, NO SOCKET req.
You will find 2ltrs will only fill to the bottom main cap bolt, a little more oil would be better. Submerge those bearings.
Ive got a 1" filler plug in my housing so i can see inside

As v8slrtorana pointed out there is a filler plug on the passenger side of the 9" centre ( not the housing). The diff is full when oil reaches the filler plug.On the passengers side of the case there is a filler plug, fill till oil starts to drain back out.

Mine takes 2.5litres. It is what they call a broadshoulder 9 inch and oil level is just over the axle tubes.

They dont have a drain plug as standard.
If yours has a drain plug, then your lucky as someone has installed one.
No drain plug, you have to undo all the bolts, yarda, yarda, yarda!
Or try a vacumm pump to remove the oil.
