just so you'll know front/back both only take 5ozs and tranny takes 15 ozs. jcd is right on what it takes. the important one is to make sure you used drive hub fluid for the front gearcase. or the awd will give you trouble.

the book says 5 ounces but everyone says to fill to the bottom of the fill hole. Mine takes 8-10 ounces to fill to bottom of the fill hole. (2003 700) anyone else think 5 ounces just isn't enough?

I hope you used the on demand front diff fluid for your front diff. The dealer didn't on my 2004.5, he got confused with the 2004 that used gear oil. My front diff was ruined and they were never able to fix it. All new hillards use the "On Demand diff fluid." Check your manual.
