[QUOTE="Vash, post: 1548323, member: 1159"] Good idea with welding a **** for a drain plug onto an OEM pan. I dropped the front diff pan the first time I changed the gear oil, but it was a pain. For my second change, I used a Mityvac 7201 fluid evacuator to suck the fluid out. Very easy and mess free. The fluid evacuator removed just under 2L of oil which is spot on with the recommended fill capacity. After siphoning out all the fluid, I refilled the diff and changed the fill plug to a Dimple magnetic plug. Based on that, I’m not too worried about wear metals accumulating at the bottom of the diff. The 50k mile Amsoil 75w-90 fluid still looked new. For anyone that wants to replace the fill plug with a magnetic plug, I went with a 1/2” NPT Dimple Magnetic plug. It will protrude a bit more than the stock plug simply due to being a bit longer, but fits and seals fine and has the same 3/8” opening for a square drive socket. The magnetic plug already came with thread sealant on it, but I also put a thin coat of PTFE thread sealant on it just because. [/QUOTE]
