Part: Differential

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.
