Changing diff oil

[johnni]

Hey all

I'm thinking of changing my diff oil as my ve is ready to hit 150,000km so I think it's time as it's never been done.

I have a 2008 ve omega v6 so which oil would be recommended for my case ?

Thanks all

Is this a job that can be done at home?

yep...just make sure that you can crack the filler and drain bolts first b4 you commit to buying oil or like someone I know who's drain opened but filler didn't,It was a rite bitch ta open and destroyed the bolt big head fu@k ....very time consuming and lots of swearing....I mean lots!!!!

It's extremely good advice to always make sure you can open the filler plug before draining out the old stuff.

Remember, diff oil smells like **** too and the smell will linger for days.
