Replacing Front Differential Oil

Model: Kia Sportage MK 2, KM - Years 2004-2010
Part: Drivetrain

After raising the vehicle on a lift, locate the front differential drain plug: it is positioned where the drain tube splits. Unscrew the plug and drain the used oil (collect and dispose of it properly); once the draining is complete, clean the plug of any debris and tighten it before proceeding to refill with new oil. The fill plug is located slightly further over and requires a small tube to insert the oil: when it begins to overflow, the level is reached and you can tighten the corresponding plug.
