There are two types of rear axle available.
8.8-9.75 inch axle, use SAE 75W-140 5.50 pints (2.6 liters)
10.25 inch axle, SAE 75W-90 use 6.5 pints (3.1 liters).

It is very important to check the tag located on the differential to determine if the rear end gear is a Positraction (Limited Slip Differential) or not.

There is not need to check or replace the fluid unless there is a leak or has been submerged in water. The refill capacity is determined by filling the axle to 1/4 - 9/16 inch (6-14 millimeters) below the bottom of the filler hole.
