Default Diff Oil

Opie Oils recommended that I only need 1 litre of diff oil for my 3 door Cossie.

I've filled the diff today, but shouldn't it overflow from the filler hole once full ??

Yesterday I ordered an additional 1 litre container of diff oil, however Opie Oils still insist that only one litre is sufficient for the Cossie rear Diff ???

Just make a video of you filling it up with just under 1.5 litres and e-mail it to them.
