Video tutorial

We can see in this video how to change the differential oil in the Suzuki Jimny: it is a much easier job than it may seem; all we need is the right key to remove the differential plugs, which is a 10mm square key, and a syringe to load the new oil; useful but not essential would also be a torque wrench.

The youtuber also gives us the indication of the quantity and type of oil we need.

We remove the oil fill plug located on the front part of the differential. We let the oil flow into a suitable container - which we will then dispose of at an authorized center - always remove the fill plug first, as it may get stuck and not unscrew anymore, and then the drain plug (which must be thoroughly cleaned before putting it back, as it collects iron filings).

Once all the oil has drained, we put the plug back in place and load the new oil with the syringe: the fill hole also serves as a level indicator. The procedure for the rear differential is exactly the same.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
