rear diff oil change

[oz-nitro]

Has anyone here changed the rear axle oil themselves? there doesn't seem to be a drain plug??? Unless the bottom plug in the rear cover doubles as a drain plug? Or do you have to suck the oil out with an oil gun?
Thought i'd ask before i do it.

the bottom plug cover in rear is the only way to suck and then refill(it will filled to top by 1 inch below that cap it's almost 2 quarts of si oil .

how much ur nitro miles now?

[oz-nitro]

it will have 80,000km (49000 miles) when i do it.
The book says diff oils to be changed every 40,000 Km (25,000 miles)

it's better to change it to keep ur car work smoothly

use mopar si oil if not use same degree of oil that fits ur nitro standard when using any other products

[oz-nitro]

given that Mopar fuel filters in Australia are $ 150 (when an aftermarket one is $ 40)
I'm not going to even bother enquiring about Mopar oil.
I'll use Penrite Sin Fully synthetic 80-140
If car makers want customer loyalty they're going to have to #1 make a decent product #2 not rip us off for service & repairs

[ammory007]

you are right

u can also use (liqui moli) products really very high quality products

but be sure nitro as i think use only 80-90 degree

dont use more than that degree

It's the same oil i use in my ute. It's recommended for V8 holdens as well as Chrysler Jeep. I use the Nitro for towing & they recommend it for that also.
