Periodic oil replacement is essential for maintaining mechanical efficiency. Lift the vehicle and secure it. Drain the differential oil by removing the upper and lower plugs, placing a container underneath to collect the used oil. Using a hand pump with a thin tube, after closing the lower plug, insert it into the upper hole and pump the oil into the differential casing.

Screw in the filler plug and check the oil level. Do not dispose of used oil in the environment; take it to designated collection centres.
