Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Guys,

I went to change my diff oils in the Frontera on the weekend, but when I got underneath I noticed there are no drain plugs only filler plugs. I had to use a sludge pump to extract the oil from the filling holes. Is this the way to do it or am I missing something. My other 4WDs had drain plugs

Thanks,
Wayne.

There should one of the bolts, that hold the centre in that has a copper washer on it, this is a drain.... the only thing is when you do it it is very slow so have a couple of beers while waiting.

Yarno, is this actually the way to drain the oil?

I was servicing my Brother in laws Frontera yesterday & had the same problem as Dipstick. I thought, ok, its just the same as my Dunnydore & it will drain from the bottom bolt for the housing. I removed this bolt & nothing came out.

Do you or anyone else know exactly the procedure for draining the front & rear diff oils in a Frontera? (honest question, not trying to discredit what you say in the above post).
