ebxmple Member 1,322 Member For: 16y 2m 19d Posted 19/01/11 09:01 AM Share Posted 19/01/11 09:01 AM Jack the car up with the front a little higher than the back,to get all the oil out of the diff. Bottom bolt of diff cover is the drain bolt and large plug on drivers side of diff housing is the filler hole. Make sure the car is level when you fill it with new oil.

vxr50t Member 134 Member For: 11y 7d Posted 24/08/13 07:48 AM Share Posted 24/08/13 07:48 AM (edited) I know this thread is old but thought I'd throw it up just for reference for the newer FG owners. I just changed my diff oil at 36k on my 2010 FG sedan and the filler hole is a 10mm hex, drain is still 15mm. Process is still the same, I used new penrite gear oil and threw in a whole tube of nulon diff treatment and blue loctite on the plug threads. Difference is amazing, sounded like I had rocks in my diff prior to oil change and now its so quiet. Will definitely do it more often Edited 24/08/13 07:50 AM by vxr50t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably why it said earlier to use an open end spanner. Ahhh to hell with convention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A suction pump is the go and a 30mm socket for the filler plug is certainly adequate. A tip on another forum is to make sure you can undo the filler plug before you drain. No sense draining the diff if you can't fill it.It is amazing how filthy the fluid is that comes out but then I don't think its ever been changed on my car.
