LukeS New Member 3 Member For: 2y 6m Posted 17/10/21 11:37 PM Share Posted 17/10/21 11:37 PM Hey all, just need a bit of help as I cant seem to find any info on servicing the fg diff. I have a 2010 fg, its developed a little bit of a leak from the rear diff, it's also about time to change the diff oil. I'm just wanting a bit of information about how difficult of a task this is? Does the entire cradle have to be removed? Doesnt seem to be a lot of room. Cheers for any help, really appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Penrite pro gear 80w140 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fill plug on the diff housing itself, about half way up. Pretty sure its the opposite side of this photo. Its a hex plug, so it stands out, you'll know it when you see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
