Another Gear Oil Question

Gotta run to town in the AM to the doctor. Need to pick up some gear oil for my diffs and tranny. How much does a 44 front, rear 60 and an NP435 hold? I've done a search but can't seem to find out much. Sounds like 85W90 is what everyone is running??

The tranny prolly holds 19.5 quarts and I think the 44 holds 3 or 4 on the 60 Im not sure but prolly 5 or so, the 435 trannys do vary urpon year, models and suck but those are my best guesses

the NP 435 holds 7 quarts. 19.5 is almost 5 gallons there is no way it holds 5 gallons.

Whats the proper way to get all the old fluid out of the NP435. There is a lil square panel on the side of the tranny, do you pull this panel and drain it from there? If so, can a guy just use some Orange RTV gasket maker to seal it back up? Also can you use the Orange RTV to make gaskets for the diffs?

There should be a drain plug on it. Drain while warm after driving it some. THe D44 holds less than 3 qts.

Just got all the fluids changed out, the D44 held about 2 1/2 quarts, the tranny held just at 4 I believe before it started pouring out, the D60 held just over 3 I believe. Wasn't keeping too good of count on the 60, got in a hurry.

Going to town with it tomorrow to get my exhaust bolted up. Gonna be running dual flowmaster 40s, from headers back $250.
