How to Change the Differential Oil on a Freelander 2

Model: Land Rover Freelander Freelander 2 - Years 2006-2016
Part: Differential

Do you want to change the oil in the car's differential? Not sure how to do it? Let's see how to replace the oil on a Freelander 2. Lift the car on a column lift or jack, then use a socket spanner to unscrew the plug from the oil sump under the differential: allow the fluid to drain into a disposal container. Tighten the drain plug once the fluid has fully drained and unscrew the oil filler plug (on the side). Refill the car's differential with new oil: tighten the plug at the end. Once the oil has been replaced, lower the car and test the operation of all its parts.
