Capacity is "about" 1.5 qts (same between either diff) but how much goes in after draining depends on your method (on the bench/opened up or pumped out). Either way, you'll end up buying two qts and filling (while car is level of course) until the new fluid starts weeping from the drain/fill plug hole.
