quick fluid questions guys
2001 24v
im buying oil for my oil change tomorrow. the owners manual said 10 qts + 1 qt for filter. so i put 10 qts into the truck, then pour 1 qt into the filter before screwing it on, or just put 11 qts into the truck? only ever changed my fords oil filter, and it is facing downwards in its little housing whereas this one is hanging there, so wasnt 100% sure. just dont want to mess anything up.
ALSO... read the whole damn manual, and it doesnt say how much rear differential fluid to put in.. it needs changed pretty damn bad... its also a little low anybody?

I also like to pre-charge filters, give lubrication a little quicker. If you can, pour the oil into the outer ring of holes instead of the middle. Despite it is brand new clean oil, I like to pour the oil in the filter the same way if flows with the engine running. I do the same with all filters, especially fuel.
Depending on which diff in the read, I'm pretty sure it is 8 to 10 quarts, and I believe 6 for the front.
