Re: Differential fluid change?
Go by maintenance schedule. Serious. If something is wrong that makes you think fluid needs changing, chances are it's too late for fluid to make a difference.
It's a pretty easy job. Awkward, but depends on the vehicle. I've done it on several, and not even bought a gasket for refill (just RTV, and CLEAN mating surfaces!!!). |

Chances are yours has never been changed, even if it has, can't hurt to change it again. When i did mine, i refilled it with Mobil 1 90wt and added the posi additive that i got from the dealer because my car has a posi rear. Good Luck Al opcorn:
