I want to change the differential fluid in my 2007 Acura TL

What are the torque settings for both the drain and vent/fill plugs? Also what is the fluid capicity of the differential? May I use a synthetic like Amsoil 75W/90 and a slip-lock Differential Additive?

Hi,

you need a 6 inch extension, short 3/8 ratchet, 5/8 plug socket, 3/8 swivel "u" joint, (sold at sears) 8mm 1/4 drive socket deep well and 1/4 inch ratchet.

find the coil packs (6 total, three in each head.)
remove the two retaining nuts holding each coil pack using 1/4 8mm socket and ratchet.
twist the pack to break the sticking boot below.
pull up (be careful to not rip the boots however it may still happen but rare.)
remove coil packs, the rear is a little more difficult with the intake.
use 6" extension and u joint and ratchet to remove plugs and replace.
reverse order to assemble. Good luck, and hoped this helped.

Gear lube is SAE 75W-90 GL-5 gear lubricant. If you have a limited slip diff, add 4 oz of limited slip additive.
Torque cover to 15-20 ft-lbs.

Changing rear end oil

Most rear differentials, it's a drain and refill operation.

SOME differentials have a drain plug, but others have ONLY a fill plug.

If yours doesn't have a drain plug, then you need to suck the old fluid out, with suction/transfer pump:

http://www.harborfreight.com/gear-oil-and-fluid-pump-61746.html

You can also use this to refill with the new fluid.

Most rear ends are filled to the bottom of the fill plug hole.
If you overfill, just let it overflow/drain until it stops dripping.

Now, different differentials require different fluids, so check what you need.
It might be in the owner's manual.

Does a 1500 sierra 4x have a rear drain plug

I assume you are talking about the rear differential. There is not a drain plug. Two ways you can change fluid - 1) Remove differential cover, let fluid drain, reseal with rtv, and tighten down. To refill there is a plug that you need to remove, fill until fluid comes out the hole. 2) Use a device to **** fluid from fill hole, then refill.

How do you add transmission fluid to a 2000 town country

The tranny fluid is added through the tranny dipstick (make sure it's not the oil dipstick). Fluid color should be red and the dipstick should have instructions on how to check level (car in park, engine at idle). Funnels are your friend here.

Servicing tranny

DONT DO IT! It has Toyota W/S fluid in it, its a lifetime fluid that doesnt have to be changed. If you can tfind a dipstick, dont touch your drainplug. It requires a complicated procedure that requires dealer only tools

Changing the transmission fluid

Once you've drained the transaxle by removing drain plug, re-install drain plug and torque to mfg. specs. To fill transaxle, you need a 5/8" square drive attached to a 9" extension, breaker bar or ratchet. Raise vehicle on hoist, or jack up and secure with jackstands. The fill plug is located above and slightly to the right of the location where the passenger side c.v. halfshaft enters the transaxle. Remove fill plug. Using a fluid exchange tool available at your local parts store, fill with automatic transmission/transaxle fluid available only from a Suzuki dealership, (part# ESSO LT 71141) until fluid starts to run out of fill hole, then replace fill plug, and torque to manufacturer specifications. I'm a former Suzuki technician. I hope this was helpful.
