What an improvement

[Terranoman]

Well I finally got around to changing the old dif oil.

Should have done it over a year ago :doh what a difference it has made.

Oil from Wilco at £3.99 per bottle :thumbs:thumbs

Easy 5 minute job.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, great stuff!! I want to do mine, what's the process to change it??

Get the correct oil http://www.wilcodirect.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9_137&products_id=1360

Then undo the filler part on the diff using a 1/2" socket drive. No point emptying it if you cant undo the filler bit and refill.

Undo the sump plug on the bottom of the diff and drain out.

I think you need 2.5 liters to refill but me being a tight arse only brought two:doh

Longest part waiting for the oil to drain out.

Job done

Go for a drive first to warm up the diff, THEN empty it :sly only takes a few mins then
