I don't change my diff fluid as often as I probably shoot, but luckily I don't do extreme off roading, mostly just stuff during hunting season. The biggest reason is because you have to pull the whole cover off, scrape the gasket, etc...
My other cars have a lower drain plug on the diff and I was thinking that when I do change the diff fluid in my XJ I'd just install some cover with a drain plug. Is there an advantage to pulling the cover off each time? Why doesn't everyone do this mod?
I might know the answer to that last one. The only cover for my D30 and D35 I could find with a lower drain plug was $90! Anyone know where I can get cheap?
