diff oil change
1998 Disco 167k miles
I've drained both front and rear differentials. 2 easy questions 1. Rave calls for 3.6 pints front and rear ( British 20 oz. pint I presume) Should I just keep adding until I reach the fill hole? 2. I was going to add some 1/2' or 3/8" hose to the nipple on the quart of gear oil so I can get r' in there. Any other brighter ideas?? |

Any other brighter ideas?? fill to the fill hole and you can get a small pump for gear oil at most auto stores |

Also make sure to clean of the metal on the magnetic drain plug.

RE: diff oil change
I just jammed the spout of the container into the hole and squeezed until nothing more came out. Then I put the second one in and squeezed.... when I couldn't get any more out, I filled up the second container with the residual from the first and squeezed again. Worked well... zero mess....

RE: diff oil change
How about your other fluids, have you done them yet? T/case, brake fluid, p/steering fluid, tranny and coolant, need any help, just shout.

RE: diff oil change
Youre gonna need a pump for tcase.. autozone has a nice one for 15 bucks . Two bucks less then Mobil 1 140 synthetic gear oil...

RE: diff oil change
I just picked up a 12$ bilge type pump at Autozone.
Mike in regards to replacing fluids so far: engine oil diff fluid brake fluid coolant Next up: transfer case and transmission The power steering is leaking so badly I need to sort out the leak first. |
