Hi

As the old girl has just passed 100k I was thinking of getting the rear diff oil changed and have a few questions..

What's the normal service interval for the diff oil?..

Probably a daft question but are the diffs in the transaxle lubed by the gearbox oil or will they need doing also?!..

What's thoughts on diff oil OEM or other?!..

Thanks..

no service interval in the manual...like the transmission fluid never has to be changed...theyre wrong!

Been covered before, there are 3 differentials to change. I won't go into the details as they are posted in this thread here:

I had all three drained and refilled when I had a leak last year. Yes, three differentials.
