Anything with a fill plug on the side determines the correct fill level. That goes for the tranny, shocks, and diff.
Think of trying to chug a beer with your mouth wide open and facing straight ahead.

I just filled mine with the top off I poured in a litre and that might have been a little extra.
1liter = 1.05 is qt approximately
