Just changed both of them with Semi sync 75W90 Hope they are ok.
One thing though, i had the car front end jacked up so i am worried that i might be putting less oil than the requirements.
What i did was pumping the oil in from the fill hole and until it starts to leak out, try it again just to make sure.
Any idea or suggestion lads?

As long as it wasn't jacked up extensively you will be fine. Did you select each gear also to get oil in all parts

Just gets the oil into all the nooks and crannies and allows you to top up if nessesary

Car needs to be level, as the transfer doesn't hold much and it's quite shallow its best to rotate the wheels a few times to ensure no air pockets inside and allow fluid to get through. Top up several times and leave for several minutes in between top up :)
