Default Diff fluid change

Anybody change their own diff fluid? I was looking into possibly doing my own. The reason is that I am planning to put Almasol LE1605 in the car and I am worried about taking it to the dealer. In the past they have given me a bit of a hard time just to put in Mobil 1. Let me know if any one could be of help.

Thanks
Rob

You should put your location in your profile so people know where you are. Lots of people change this themselves. and i'm sure someone could help.

I just did mine again yesterday.

The drain plug is a hard metric sized wrench to find. you will be able to use a 15/16 SAE on it.

Just make sure you can loosen the fill plug before you drain the fluid.

It's easy.

I have an extra bottle of LE1605 laying around from when I had the s2k. Anybody need it? I'll trade it to someone for something I can use in the Exige, such as a quart of oil or something.

Any takers?

Send a to PM SC_Highlander. He is the "reference" when it comes to any of these questions.
