You may want to take the opportunity to clean the breather on the diff while you're in the neighborhood.
My axle seals were weeping but after soaking the breather in solvent and blowing it dry they seem to have stopped.
I read about someone else here on the forum who found the same thing...

1.9 quarts approximately. It's a little harder to find, but I use Mobil Delvac 1 75w-90. It's designed for open differentials only (no limited slip additives) and is slightly thicker than Mobil 1 LS 75w-90.
