Default how much hub fliud

Too much is bad and can cause a leak in the seals.

I have a service manual here, it says 8 and 4. The hubs each hold a little less than 4 oz., therefore a 8oz bottle will do a little more than two hubs, maybe three.

Default how much hub fliud

I've used synthetic atf in the hubs of my '03 SP500 since the first service. Over 2000 miles on it now and never a hub problem. I usually turn the fill hole up to a 2 o'clock position, fill the hub (using a small squirt-type oil can), then turn it down to 4 o'clock and let it drain to the proper level. I find that a little easier than trying to fill with the hole at 4 o'clock. One litre of synthetic atf is about 10 - 12 bucks in my area. Alot of fluid changes for a cheap price.

Is that 10-12 CDN or USD? I fill it up completely, then drain the excess also. I figure it helps get some of the old crap out of the hub.
Also, you can use the ATF fluid to "rinse" the hub out by changing it, ride in a circle, change it, ride in a circle, then fill it with real hub fluid. This helps clean it out if you had a lot of metal or water in there if you hadn't changed it in a while.
