Thoughts On Differential Fluid Change When Cold
I want to change my differential fluid. *I bought the gear oil and friction modifier. *I am also in the middle of an exhaust install that is on hold while I wait for a part. *It is a Magnaflow exhaust and I noticed that once the installation is complete, the drain plug will be completely blocked. *I thought there would be no better time.
As I am getting ready, I read the bottle and it says you need to do it warm. *Of course that makes sense. It will help it drain better, right? *I don't plan to run the car until everything is installed. *The only way to warm it is to drive it. *Something else that warms up when driving will be blocking the plug and by the time the exhaust cools, the fluid will have cooled.
Sooo...
Did you change yours cold? *Cold has got to be better than not at all, right?
