Replacing the oil in the differential of the Pathfinder? Let's see how to do the replacement. Position your car on a column lift and raise it to a comfortable height for the replacement.

To change the differential oil, unscrew the bolt located underneath using a socket spanner. Once the bolt is removed, let the fluid drain into a container.

Prepare to screw the bolt back onto the transmission with the spanner, then top up the differential container (upper bolt) with the appropriate fluid. Lower the car and test the vehicle's operation.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
