That's about right, I came out to about .5238 quarts.

I found this to be a useful tool for conversion of a lot of units,

Unfortunately could not change it, I was missing a piece for the bottom of the fuel filter, so I have postponed this project. I may move it until I decide to leave Mexico (which could happen within 6 to 9 months) and 99.9% will happen within 12.

Sorry to hear you couldn`t do it. BTW,are you saying I have to drain the trans pan first? I was only going to drop the fluid in the diff.(the one that shares the trans fluid) Shouldn`t matter right?

You can drain either the front differential or the tranny pan first, it doesn't matter, just as long as you drain both.

I wish I could have done the filter, oh well.

Around the end of February I will be adding an air filter (after 3 years of going without one), a Weapon-R V2.

Will do, this is the filter in question, http://weapon-r.com/english/index.ph...oducts_id=5896

Not as expensive as the Secret Weapon filter, but one can still ram a 3 inch wide piece of PVC into the middle and since I already have the original pipe from my Dragon Intake, it was hard to argue.
