MJH2454 Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Getting back on topic, i.e. removing and changing Diff oil, I tried the big syringe and floppy tube method and managed to get 470 millilitres out of it, that'll do me!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 What does the stuff that came out look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 I have yet to experience this. I replaced mine by turning it over until the filler was on the bottom, and gravity did the job!. (it was off the car at the time). I got one of Lidle`s 12V pumps when they had them. I use it for oil changes via the dip tube. on my (relative) "modern", easier than grovelling underneath on the driveway. Pumps allsorts of "stuff" including 30+ litres of diesel from the Campervan I part exchanged. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johny Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 yes dont think its something to change very often and now that, on average, our old cars do so little mileage probably once per owner is enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 Generally oil in diffs and gearboxes does keep its oily properties as there is no contamination from any combustion activities yes there are wear and tear particles which always sink and and surprisingly stay in the bottom despite all the splash going on whilst we are 50 years on the base design had no reason to drain many transmisions whatever the make so it depends if you love or hate a drain plug Ha ! and if you fancy an oil change thats fine Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
