Hi, I am wanting to change the front differential fluid on my vehicle. I can find only one 24mm bolt to remove and not the the other. Bottom line, can you give me instructions on how to change my front differential fluid, please? Is the differential and trans-axle fluid the same thing?

Welcome to 2CarPros.

This is an easy one. Drain and refill. I attached a picture of the fill location. I highlighted it for you. Also, not the line indicating level. I always fill them until the fluid starts to drip from the fill plug opening.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,
Joe
