Got to use diff oil designed for it I found that there is 80-90 diff oil then specific oil designed for LSD if you have got one or it wont work properly.
figures sound about right from memory mate has a 88GQ SWB and from what I can remember the front did drink a lot more then the rear.
if your doing it may as well change G-box + Transfer oils too (if manual) use the same oil as standard diffs. Same process easy to do.

the higher volume for the front is due to have a high pinion position
