Diff oil change

I'm approaching 60k miles and I think its a good idea to change my diff fluid. I tried to search but couldn't find a DIY.

Any information is appreciated.

Read this thread, HERE, then come back and read this thread and you'll have an entirely different perspective of what is being said here.

FYI, some recommend getting a new diff plug bolt. Around $8. Torque spec is 60nm.

search some more, I know I've contributed to a couple in the past. I did mine at 60K, it's worth doing then. Try the maint and DIY sub-forums.
