Changing Axle Differential Oil

IMPORTANT: Clean the area surrounding plugs before removing. Ensure a suitable container is placed on the ground to catch oil. When removing drain plugs, be sure to stand to one side to avoid oil which will spill from the hole.

Proceed as follows:

1. Drain lubricating oil by removing the drain plug (A) in differential casing (B).

2. Re-fill with clean oil of the correct type and grade at fill plug (C) (see "Fuel, Lubricants, Coolant and Capacities").
