See our other "Under Car Fluid Changes" videos for; rear differential, manual transmission, automatic transmission, transfer case, MINI transaxle and standard under-car oil change. NOTE: We are performing these fluid changes on a vehicle lift. All of these fluid changes cane be done "at home" using a common floor jack and jack stands or even drive-on ramps). Similar to the manual transmission, the differential will have a drain and a fill plug. Some late models only have a fill plug (there is no drain plug on the assembly). These models require a unique procedure in order to evacuate the fluid. We will address this is the REAR DIFFERENTIAL DIY video. Most front differentials will need under 1 quart, or liter, for a fluid change. Check the applicable Bentley repair manual for specific fluid quantities. -------- All products noted in this video can be purchased in our online store, bavauto.com, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
