It takes a 14MM Allen head wrench, I got it from AutoZone, $7.50 for 3 different sizes (12,14 & 16). I filled with Mobil 1 W75-90 synthetic (top of fill plug). It takes 1.1 quarts per the manual. I had to use cheater bar to remove & tighten plugs. I used Locktite on threads..Posted just for info...

I Would'nt

W140 is too high for a rear end, use a W75-90. Most manuals use W90. I decided to go Mobile 1 synthetic in all my vehicles.

Do I have to replace 140 with 90 immediately or it can be used till next service?

It's just replaced last week.

W140

Unless you drive short trips, I would change it. The thickness of the heavy oil (W140) might heat up the rear end on long trips..
