The oil in a rear end wasn't ment to be changed, it's in for the life of the automobile. I have never heard of an oil change schedule for a manual transmission, the only time I have changed/added the oil was if it's low, or after being worked on. The Cliltons manual just says to check every 6000 miles for 1964-74 models and 7500 miles for 1975-81. and if it trickles out the hole when you remove the plug, there is enough.
