Differential Oil Change

Postby Andy P » Mon Jul 17, 2017 2:08 pm

Hi,I plan to change the oil in the differential soon,am I right in assuming you have to suck the old oil out as I can only see a fill/level plug from underneath the car. :D
Any advice would be greaty appreciated.
Thanks.

Andy, that's correct if you haven't got a drain plug. Interestingly, it appears that Jaguar can't make up their mind, at least on the X350. Some examples have both drain and level, others only have the level plug (I haven't looked at mine yet).
