Rear end, tranny and t-case all use gear oil, and all fill until it runs out the fill hole. Not sure of capacities. With the 465, it is handier to pull the fill plug, then pull the shifter handle and pour the oil in through the shifter hole until it runs out the fill hole.

Your plug on the diff should be either on the pan on back or passenger side close to the pinion. If you want to drain it, you have to pull the pan and reinstall with a new gasket. You fill it till it runs out, just like the others.
