A simple filler and drain Bellini... Filler is high on the driver's side, drain is on the bottom... Obviously remove the filler first (otherwise once you have removed the old oil you are stuck if the filler won't budge!) then refill with the correct amount & type of oil (Ducky Dan's your man)

Mine done last week during Transmission service. All good on mine but garage commented the same; people forget them all to easily. Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........ |

Just done mine Jay, same age & similar miles to yours i think? 19k and mine were just slightly off (a perfectly clean) colour so i changed them anyhow. So, I'm sure yours will be quite clean mate... Low milage cars suffer worse i think |

I changed mine last month and both diffs dropped oil so clean it was almost a waste.

It's only splash lubricated, so I think I may have got away with it.

Adam, its not tremendously thick oil like you would be used to in a Defender! More like expensive engine oil consistency... So no real need to warm it too much pal... |
