Re: What type of Diff fluid should I use??
i took my plug out as well the other day and nothing came out. I took all the bolts off the pan but couldnt get the pan off. Any tricks to getting the pan off? I was in a rush so i just stopped before i ended up breaking the housing.
Also did you fill up the entire pan? I was thinking about just jacking up the left side of the cart and squeese some oil in. I know the cart has some oil in it because i left the pan bolts loose and after i moved it a few feet it had some oil leak out. |

Re: What type of Diff fluid should I use??
Deerhunter,
My pan had not been removed for 15 yrs to the best of my knowlege.. I took mine off with a really thin flat head screwdriver. I set it on the edge of the seal and pecked on it with a hammer and went all the way around until it came free.. This was the longest part of the entire service.. |

Re: What type of Diff fluid should I use??
Deerhunter,
make sure you only put in about 10oz of oil in the pan. That is all ezgo calls for.. I thought installing the pan would be tough.. when you remove the pan clean it good as well as the lip of the pan. then put a bead of silicone on it. and add your 10 oz of 30w oil. slowly line up the holes of the pan with your bolt holes and push it on good... it will stick long enough for you to get some bolts in it.. hope this helps.. |

Use a paint scraper (thin) and a hammer to remove the diff cover. Screwdrivers can bend the edge and you'll have to straighten it back out.

Re: What type of Diff fluid should I use??
I still can't believe the EZGO engineers came up with this brilliant design !!! It's not really a drain plug and it's not really a fill plug - sheesh. I scratched my head a lot when attempting to change the oil in my 2007. I finally bent some copper tubing into an upside down "J" and sucked out "most" of the old oil through the drain/fill/check hole with a squeeze bottle, then used the same tubing tool to do the refill. Good luck - RAY

Re: What type of Diff fluid should I use??
Jack up the left side to drain. Jack up the right side to fill. You can use a small hose and funnel to fill. Put one end of the hose on the funnel end, the other in the fill hole. Hold the funnel up to a comfortable level and pour in the 10 ounces and you're done.
Of course, if nothing comes out when you jack it up, you may want to refer back to dropping the pan. :) |

I agree Chloe... 5-7 yrs is all it needs replaced.. I enjoy working in the garage tinkering with things... So, the way i seeit. I will drop the pan every 5 yrs and clean it up good.. Thanks
