How to change the differential oil on the Suzuki Jimny JB 33

Model: Suzuki Jimny Jb23, Jb33, Jb43, Jb53 - Years 1998-2018
Part: Power steering fluid

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.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
