Excellent! That's the info I was looking for in the other thread on this topic. :-)

BTW, I changed the diff lube at the same time. That was the easiest job.

One tip on the engine oil drain that has served me very well is to use a 6 point 1/2 inch socket on the bolt. 1/2 inch is equal to 12.7 mm, and fits the bolt perfectly. If you use a 13 mm, especially a 12 pt socket, prepare to have problems...
