Jay762 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 only time I could see that being needed was if you were driving in sand all the time but your bearings would need replacing before hand.

BoozyDave Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 gampla, an average car does 10k a year, do you think anyone would buy a subaru if you had to pay £100's every 6 months for a diff rebuild? (honest question) i haven't seen oil change recommendations as low as 3,750 miles before, usually 6k miles or 6 months on the classics and 10k miles or 12 months on the new age good idea to have a full service done (by a garage that you trust), when you have the cam belt done make sure they change the pulley's too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevell Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Good,idea ,I think there is a buyers guide on here ,might be worth having a look through to help out abit mate.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Interesting that the service schedule for the rear diff oil only says that it should be inspected every 30,000 miles. Not changed. I can't help thinking that if you're going to go to all the trouble of inspecting it than you might as well change it. Remember when you inspect your diff oil (or gearbox oil) you are not looking for colour change as transmission oil doesn't change colour when it goes off... You need to smell it! The stronger the smell, the older it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
