So I learned something I think I should have known before this: The differential oil is supposed to be changed with the engine oil, every 7500 miles. I wonder when the last time the dealership actually changed it mine.

So I've got some motul 300 on order, well see how it goes. transmission oil change was easy enough, once we figured out how to actually get the oil up into the tranny.

7500 on diff oil? Seems a bit excessive to me.

Yeah, because if I pull the oil out to "inspect" it, there's no reason to put it back in.

Harbor freight has a little pump that works well for filling or emptying hard to reach places

I bought a little pump and it ended up leaking real bad, but there was another one just like it at the auto hobby shop here that worked like a charm.

Can you do it without raising up the car?

I'm on my phone so if I make mistakes, blame Sportsguy83

That was me, I tried to wave back in time.

One of my HID Ballasts died tonight, can't find my spare so it looks like its time to buy another set.

[jack43]

Hot Lava folks--that's the best looking color on the twins.

I noticed I have some oil consumption with the mobile 1. Think I'm gonna buy some motul real soon.

It's worth every penny to pay the little extra for the Motul bottles w/ built in spouts. Done and done, no mess, no pump, no mixing fluids.
