From the manual but I fill mine to overflow.CAUTION: Do not fill the differential with lubricant up to the filler plug. The filler plug is only used to fillQuote:

Blah blah. Then there is the reality that they’re one and the sameQuote:

Like I said initially too, it also says 7 Nm more torque for a smaller plug, that if i put the listed 35Nm on it im sure it would disappear into the diff...Quote:

actually it may not be LR trying to change the method, as the transfer case fill method is still the same
