Hi Guys,
Just posted a "how to" change diff oil. Here's the link. http://www.fordforums.com.au/showpos...7&postcount=42 I'm about to post one on how to clean out the ISC valve, but that'll wait half an hour or so as dessert is beckoning! LOL! Ok back again, the cake and chocky mousse was excellent. Here's the link to the ISC valve clean "how to." http://www.fordforums.com.au/showpos...9&postcount=43 Cheers, GK

Its great having pictures of what exactly you are talking about.
G.K. you should think about working for Haynes or Gregories !!!!! Just a quick note about IRS V8's, the damn filler plug is at the side ( rather than back of diff ) and the exhaust runs close by so you can't use the the 1 litre pack with the refill hose. You have to use a small hand pump with extension hose on it to get the Diff oil back in |

yeah, i was gonna say, im due for a diff oil change soon when i finish running the diff in, so will post the IRS addition, or email to GK so he you can update him.. us IRS's have the diff mounted to the car , so you cant jack it up there, and as said before, the filler plug is in different locations

Thanks for posting the additional info for IRS. I didn't consider this as both my AU's are live rear end.
Cheers, GK

Just about to change the oil in my diff so it was great to see your pics and guide.

You have to use the fully synthetic diff oil in the IRS diffs and they specifically say don't use any additives

thats some great work there George! ever the handy man with the camera! may i just ask, where abouts would one get said oil and addative and how much will it set me back? my car is due for a service soon so i might as well take advantage of it being up on the hoist and do the diff too.

Castrol SAF XA was $30 a litre and needs 1.65 lires in IRS diff.
I bought it it at Repco at the lat 20% off sale so total was $48 for 2 litres. |

Should you lift the rear end when adding diff oil?

Many people leave the diff as is and when the oil comes back out the fill hole, they know it's full. The only problem with that as I see it, is if they have their car on an incline, they might not be able to get the correct amount of fluid back into the diff. Also, having had the stink of diff oil (one of the worse smells there is IMO) on me for a day, I prefer the minimum amount of spillage. Suit yourself though, whatever works, works! As long as you have the proper amount go back in, that's the main thing. Cheers, GK
