It's messy and challenging sometimes, but making sure your oil and fluid levels are maintained is an important chore for the health of your vehicle!
Changing the Final Drive oil is a straight forward process; it's important to run the vehicle for a few minutes to warm the liquid so it will flow out correctly. Working on a flat level driveway makes it a lot easier, and try to have extra buckets and cleaning rags handy for the inevitable mess.
I also used masking tape to help control the oil drain, and had some plastic funnels & hose to make refilling a little easier. It's important to service these fluids every 500 Hours of use, it's far easier to maintain than to have to replace!
Today I had some helpers, but please know that this was filmed before the COVID pandemic, which is why we're not wearing masks.
