I did mine w/o jacking it up (bigger tires and 2" lift) and I opt'd for the easy way and used a $7 fluid pump Pep Boys. It could be done finagling bottles sideways at this angle and that angle but the pump has already paid for its-self in easing that job and other jobs. There is also a more expensive pump, something like $12, that moves more fluid than the cheaper one. If I did it over I would have gotten that one if it was in stock at the time.G35TR wrote:How difficult is it to refill the fluids?
Changing the fluid is a breeze! All you need for tools is a ratchet and a 10 mm allen socket. In addition to that, to make the refill easy, I bought a $5 pump at Autozone that attaches to a standard 1 gallon container. I also got replacement drain/ fill plug seals at my local Nissan dealer. Both are the same seal. Nissan Part # 11026-4N200. BTW, for those that have a 2wd, you only need two of the seals.How difficult is it to refill the fluids? Judging from the service manuals, all the fill plugs are all on the sides.
I didnt spill a drop but I did use a lift. Changing it in the driveway shouldnt be too bad. The drain plug and fill plug are easily accessible. I had no problems removing or installing either of them with a 3/8 ratchet.I'm looking to change these fluids myself, but not interested in getting fluid all over me, or my driveway for that matter. Keep in mind I won't be using a lift.
I did my 30K maintenance and when I filled my T-case, it only took 1 and 3/4 quarts to fill. I drained the t-case well for 5mins and I made sure it's drained. I bought 4 quarts of Castrol Dextron IV ATF fluid and it to my surprise the fluid started oozin off the fill hole after pumpin 1 and 3/4 quarts. Did I messed up anywhere?amr40509 wrote:Rear final drive oil
