Rear axle oil
Is there a drain screw for the rear axle oil? I see a bigger bolt on the driver's side and a smaller one on the passenger side but neither are at the lowest point on the diff.
Or do you just suck it out the fill bolt? Thanks! |

Re: Rear axle oil
On my 99 DS it was the lower nut on the drivers side. I believe it was the bigger one. I noticed one that was not like the others so I took that 50/50 chance. Sure enough that was the one.

Re: Rear axle oil
Here is a picture where I think the fill and drain plugs are located. Both of these are on the driver's side. Is this correct?

Re: Rear axle oil
I just finished changing the axle oil for the first time so I can sort of answer my own question. I used the bolts labeled in my picture above. The drain bolt has a magnet on it.
The manual points to a fitting on the front of the axle for filling. I took a picture of this fitting. The part with the mark on it appears to be a cap that spins freely but I couldn't get it off. It looks like it could be pinched at the bottom to prevent it from being removed? I don't know. The manual calls for 0.3L of oil and that was about what I took out. However when I filled it I was expecting the oil to run out the fill hole at around 0.3L, but it didn't. The manual says something like if oil comes out of the hole it is ok. However if you fill it from the hole shown in the manual and oil comes out of that hole, the diff would be pretty much full and have way more than 0.3L of oil. I took the wheel off but I'd bet you could do it with the wheel on. It would definitely be easier with it off though. I probably ended up with about 0.4L in there when I stopped. Oops. Googling seems to indicate this isn't a problem. |

Re: Rear axle oil
What type of oil did you use in your icon? I can't find anything online about the rear oil.

Re: Rear axle oil
