Default Help changing my Diff fluid

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone here would want to help me change my diff fluid. I am kind of a newbie with this DIY stuff, I read xviper's thread on it, but I don't want to take any risks, if I just watch someone do it once I will be fine you know? But that first time I don't want to take any risks.
Beer is involved!

Thanks
Arian

it is very straight forward....hardest thing is getting the fluid in without a pump.

I'm going to be doing mine whenever my Motul shipment comes in; you could probably watch me. The Motul was supposed to be here already, so who knows how much longer

If you follow xvipers instructions, it's extremely easy to do.

Who are you getting your Motul stuff from?

I'm getting it from Speedtech in Edmonton. Unfortunately they are out of almost everything Motul at the moment.

Just make sure the motul stuff meets the requirements for the S2000 diff.

Also, if you drive your car in winter, most of the diff fluids don't flow too well in cold temps.

Most people up here go with the Mobil 1 75w90 only because it still flows well at cold temps, and its relatively cheap.
