How to change differential oil in Mazda Rx8

Model: Mazda Rx 8 MK 1 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Differential

To change the diff oil on the Mazda Rx8, we start by unscrewing the diff oil drain plug located behind the drain with a 24 socket wrench and draining the diff oil into a container; once the oil has been drained, (in the video the drain plug is also replaced) replace the drain plug gasket, clean the seat and screw the drain plug back in with a 24 socket wrench. Once the drain plug has been screwed back in, unscrew the filling immediately above, pour the liters indicated by the house into a bottle, aided by a small pump, pump the oil into the hole just above the drain hole and when we notice that the oil is about to leak, screw the cap back on with the same 24 socket wrench and the operation is finished.
