Re: RXV rear axle oil--how to install?
I used a syringe with rubber hose.pushed in fill plug to remove old fluid,then used same method to fill rear till oil stoped running out fill plug. Pumped in about a quart of oil since I wanted to flush out old oil. Did this to replace stock 30 wt. oil with gear oil. Once done replaced fill cap,done.
This on 2012 txt rear. |

Re: RXV rear axle oil--how to install?
How do you know this needs to be done though!? I have a 2012 RXV that makes a groaning sound when making slow turns. Sounds like the noise is coming from the back but hard to tell. Is this what my issue is?

Yes, and be sure to use oil for limited slip axles. And an extra 2oz of friction modifier dont hurt either.

Re: RXV rear axle oil--how to install?
I'm looking to take this on, has anyone documented this and can recommend replacement gasket and any bearings. My battle plan would be to drop the pan, spray grease/brake cleaner in, replace gasket, reinstall pan, then fill. I'm still a bit confused on if I need a pump to fill, sounds like I can do this without jacking (I'm lifted) by using a pump through the breather?
I'm, also confused on whether I should just buy gear oil with posi-additive AND add more additive. I was hoping someone had a parts list and more specific instructions as it seems there's multiple ways to skin this cat. 25 ounce of good oil and a friction reducer along with the hand pump seems like enough, just unsure if there's a gasket or anything else I should replace once it's broken apart. |

Does anyone have a video or picture by picture tutorial to change the rear diff fluid? My 2011 RXV Electric whines a lot.

Re: RXV rear axle oil--how to install?
Gentlemen, just did this last night. I知 handy but not necessarily mechanically. This was easy even for me. I have a 2012 RXV. Jacked up the cart, drained the oil by pulling the plug from the pan(barely any came out which had me concerned and is clearly why I had whining and groaning) unbolted the pan and separated it from the dif. Saturated the inside of dif and pan with break cleaner to get any excess oil out and. Leaned inside of pan. Scraped all the old rtv gasket off and applied the new rtv gasket. Placed the pan back up and bolted her back on.(I made an erro by not letting the gasket dry a bit. Read the directions after the fact that said to hand tighten the bolts, let the gasket spew out and dry for an hour, then righted all the way. I went straight to tightening all the way. Whoops. Hopefully I put enough gasket sealer on there that I値l be okay) I let it sit over night and will fill it today. I have a funnel that is connected to a pvc tube that should allow me to fill from the drain plug what I can and the rest through the vent valve. I went with Mobil 1 75-90 gear oil(25oz) and TransX Posi Trac friction additive(2oz).

I'd love to see pictures and a report on how well filling from the vent valve goes as well as how many ounces you get in through the drain plug before that goes over. |
