Rear Differential Fluid Change (AAM 11.5)

[Motor Head]

​

For those who are looking to get their rear differential fluid changed out, here is my tutorial video I made of the process I used. Overall, very simple process, with minimal amount of tools. I threw in Mobil 1 75W-90 to suffice, until I can throw in some amsoil for the long haul. After draining and refilling the differential, I am so happy I did with the amount of small metal shavings caught on the bolt magnet. Thanks!

Nice post, thank you for sharing. Glad to see the rear diff cover comes off without removing the sway bar.

Yup, plenty of room to take it off, just need to get around the sway bar hah.

I just check the fluid on the rear diff and fluid poured out, way over filled from factory. I'd say it had 3/4 inch above the fill line on the diff.
