take the fill plug out of the pinion side and fill it untill it runs out, thats all it needs, i believe that it'll come out to about 2qts. the only thing i run in mine is lucas gear oil.

When you buy the additive it will come in a small bottle, about an ounce or two, add the whole bottle for your tracloc diff.Hello i was wondering how much addative to replace in an AMC20 rear end with a tracloc in it. Also is synthetic oil worth putting in?

You need the additive. Some Limited slips are mechanical. Others use fiberish disc`s. One oil cannot do both.
Add the additive first and then top off with gear lube. Reccomend a GL-4 rated lube. The AMC20 was designed around a different based oil then what is commonly available today. Just cause an oil is the latest and greatest formulation does not mean it is correct (and can be bad) for your application.
Non synthetic convenentail gear oil is the right stuff. At least as close as your gonna get.

Per post #3, It really depends on the concentrate, but - it is usually sold one "dose" per diff.

Cheapjeep was probably correct anyway cuse from what I have been told your trac-loc was worn out the first time it went off road. Mine had one and it behaved as if an open carrier so unless you have a fresh unit I would not worry about any additive.
