Steven...

We may had been over filling our diff, and we had gear oil splashing like crazy 
out from the diff.  The rear underside of the car looked terrible after an 
event.  Jack Wheeler taught us to use some custom plastic (PVC?) washers around 
the shafts.  They were not seals, as such, but did discourage the splashing by 
a good 90% (+/-).  After we started using them, the underside of the car was 
much cleaner after an event.  Not difficult to make.  Wheeler said that it was 
Hardy Prentice who tipped him off to the practice.

I just put one quart of Red Line Shock Proof Heavy into my TR4 live axil, 4:11, 
Detroit Locker. One quart filled it right to the top. Does anyone over fill it?

 I believe you could run an additional quart and still have half the air space 
although the axils would be floating in it.

My air vent and tube is set very tall.
