Differential Oil Replacement

Part: Transmission fluid

Obtain the necessary amount of oil. Regular oil replacement is essential for maintaining mechanical efficiency. Lift the vehicle and secure it. Drain the differential oil by removing the upper and lower plugs and extracting the oil using a tube and pump. Using a hand pump with a thin tube, insert it into the upper hole and pump the oil into the differential casing. Check the correct level and replace the plug. Do not dispose of used oil in the environment; take it to designated collection centres.
