Thanks for posting! Alldata shows a ridiculous 7.5qts of fluid (SPIII) for the torque transfer part of the rear diff/ACD. I changed ALL my fluids to redline today and didn't get anything near that level. Glad to see it's only like a quart. LOL. At the shop, we call ALLDATA "SomeData..."

My money is betting on the data being typed in incorrectly, shifting the decimal from .75q to 7.5q. Why do I bet so? Not because it is simply an easy transposition, but the way most large (profitable?!?) companies operate these days the data entry work is done by either work-out-of-home housemom's or more likely, a large Indian sweat shop of people who get paid a pitance, and that pitance is a lot larger than their expertise/domain knowledge. Such as cars. Unless the vehicle was some sort of HD diesel, anyone knowledgable of cars would have caught that by themselves.

Of course it could simply have never been reviewed, but I'm betting on the outsourcing model causing this failure. Soooooo common in information "technology" these days, using the sweat and tears of laborers overseas who mean well, but just aren't experienced "users" of the work they are assigned.

Alldata is an online software subscription that you can purchase, but it's extremely expensive. I haven't seen a "Haynes"/Chilton book on the X's. This type of community is the next best thing, actually a bit better because of the activity level, well "SHARING" level, of involvement that people here make that you won't find doing as often per person per job at a dealership. One of the advantages of the Evo over even a dang Maxima is the community support and DIY knowledge you can get easily to save your money (for mods) by simply turning the wrench yourself.

Are any of the ones we find via typical searches both complete and copyright compliant? I hadn't found any, other than the real stuff, real expensive too. "Yet," I should add. With time, they'll hit the market. I've got my share of repair manuals.
