I can rest easy now! Today I drained and filled my differential.
The plugs were tight, but yielded to my 1" socket set breaker bar.
I used the following fluid for the fill:
Castrol 37507 Syngear 75W-90 Gear Lubricant - 35 lb.
It seems the 35 lb is 5 gallons. At least that is what the container looked like to me.
It is just the correct amount as I had to pump almost the entire contents to get it to overflow through the fill hole.
Thankfully there was very little magnetic material stuck to the plugs. Now I just have to recycle the used lubricant and I am done.
Thanks to Bill Johnson for sharing his experience and emphasizing the importance of this often overlooked lubricant.
