65k Differential Fluid Change

D.Stillwell · 03-10-2016, 09:27 AM

^^ I agree, I do lots of hwy driving and I know for a fact that fluid heats up pretty good at those speeds over time. I'll probably change it again during my 18k oil change...just to see what it looks like after about 12k miles of use

^^ @ 90 ST.....dude, just get the cheapest pump from any auto store like auto zone, it worked perfectly for me

Sounds like it deserves it's own thread.

Hey guys I'll post up pics in a minute. Basically I used a syrup pump from Starbucks. Drilled a hole in the cap from a Redline bottle and cut the pump down to fit. Then you just stick the tip in the hole, lol, and pump the bottle up and down.
I think I posted a mini diy in the tranny change thread too.

Yah this will make for a cleaner service.

I will try this approach on my next service.
