Default Tranny/Diff Fluid Maintenance

Where did you guys do your tranny and diff fluid maintenance? Any recommended shops? How much were you charged?

What did you use? Redline? OEM? Tks.

IIRC - you need a 23mm for the diff. It's an odd size

if you get a pump to fill the diff fluid that actually works it should take you an hour to do yourself.

the 23mm socket is like $6 from canadian tire, so get one of those and a torque wrench if you don't have one... and a socket set and use the 3/4" socket for the tranny drain and open end box wrench for the diff fill. Just make sure you get new washers. I re-used my fill ones but put new ones on for the drains
