hi guys,

How do I change the diff oil? Seems rather inaccessable.

hi Johno,

I think he meant which manufacturer; BTR or GKN

[Gerjo]

ah, I wouldn't know actually, it's a '96 Griff 500.

See if you can get something like this.

Easy to drain more difficult to fill. I used an old gear oil bottle with a pull out spout. Transferred the Millers diff oil into the old bottle and squeezed it in, wasn't an easy task. Others have done it by extending the spout with a length of tubing feeding it via the wheel arch and waiting for gravity to do the job.

One of those pumps, or a specific oil transfer syringe would be a lot easier. There are loads around mail order but don’t seem to be stocked in the tool shops.

It's a messy job, but I used just a big syringe . . The drain plug is huge, and has an anti loosen tag on it usually, but mine is probably different to yours.

Thought the big plug was the fill hole, the drain hole being a smaller one on the rear plate. That tab ( at least on mine ) has some text on it I think about the oil type. Would think it was a bit too flimsy to be a locking tab.

Get a drill pump for a fiver and a length of hose. Takes seconds to fill and great for the gearbox too

thanks guys !
