Axle Oil replacement

Afternoon All,

I am getting my bus ready for its next service and noted it's due to change the axle oil, can anyone shed any light on this? it's not the gear or transfer box as they are listed separately, so i'm thinking it's the front & rear diffs..

Thanks

Not all about the diff oil, but quite useful.

Got my indie to do mine at the last service,, half an hours work.. Hardly worth attempting to diy by the time you faff on and buy the oil,, which is not particularly cheap for the amount required. Measured amount for each axle I believe. 2010 RRS, TDV8
bali Blue / colour coded
side steps / flappy paddles
black perforated leather
22" overfinch
heated everything, TV,fridge ...... now with gold calipers and mud flaps !( black mud flaps that is) !!
Many years ago,,,,, 1955 series 1 landie , sometimes wish I had kept it

well if you have the big syringe
and have the tools to get plugs out you can do yourself

Tip hammer the socket on the diff, to ensure you don't round it off, loosening

AT least you know the job has been done then

If you can't trust your indie to do the job they are being paid to carry out you need to go elsewhere,,,and pretty quick! 2010 RRS, TDV8

I will be doing it myself, probably between Christmas and new year.

Just need something I can use to fill the diffs as I have the tooling already.
