Don't measure. Fill until it runs out the fill plug. That is the right amount. Same for the tranny and t-case.

Yup....simply put in the owners manual "If the oil comes to the bottom edge of the hole, the level is correct."

Just in my case .. I need to take some special precautions on this issuee, bith 3rd memebers are rotated in my case .. I need to raise the front and rear end on my Toy to proper fill ..
