Part: Differential

The video shows how to replace the differential fluid on a 2008-2015 Nissan Rogue with all-wheel drive. Perform this operation when the fluid is warm to make it easier to drain. Be careful to avoid burns. Block the front wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling. Then, lift the rear of the vehicle with a jack. Support the vehicle with jack stands. After placing a drain pan under the differential, remove the drain plug to let the fluid drain out. Clean and replace the plug using a new sealing washer, and tighten to the specified torque. Using a manual pump syringe, inject the fluid into the differential through the upper plug. Clean and replace the plug using a new washer, and tighten to the specified torque.
