BRed Front & Rear Differential Fluids

[AP3-Photography]

I am going to change both fluids, but before I do, is there any pitfalls to watch for? First-timer. Thanks!

Shouldn’t be too bad. When you are installing the Drain and fill plugs don’t over tighten. I have a P7hundo so I don’t know the intricacies. Just trying to give you some confidence. 😉

So could you do mine while you have the toolz out? 🤔

Just finished both front and rear differential. Pretty straight forward. Front was very difficult to refill. Need a flexible funnel with long enough reach. But I improvised with a piece of tubing connected to the spout of the oil. Looks good.
Thanks again!

I’m glad you got it. I change my once a year because I mud deep. It’s good insurance. 😉

I am embarassed to say when mine was done last. But then again, I dont use the machine to anywhere near its full potential.

No need to be embarrassed around here. Maybe post a pic of that beast. 😉

You know, I was going to do that. As a photographer, I have pictures of just about everything. Would you believe I dont have a picture of this beast? I will get a picture this weekend and post it here. Also, I rotated the tires today. Still debating whether to flush the coolant. It looks clean in the reserve tank. Jury still out on it.

Here ya go Mudwing. Not too bad for a 2010 model.

You can buy a tester to check the coolant. Honda wants it done every two years. But I’d say if it tests good then run it. 😎

Not much to worry about, like @Mudwing said, don’t over tighten. I snapped off my rear plug when I had my 700, trying to torque it to specs and it just snapped right off. It was 4 days before I was heading to Windrock, talk about a oh crap moment. 😂
