GT350 Diff Fluid Change

[@mattzinicola7460]

Thanks for taking the time to film this process and edit it.

[@ryanrobinson2401]

Great video! I can't wait to see the trans fluid flush.

[@sandygalbraith49]

Thanks for posting this. I'll be doing mine shortly and knowing where everything is will be very helpful. Thanks again and thanks for your service!!!

[@TqSNv9R0iG5Ckxew]

This video will come in handy in 19 years from now when my car reaches the recommended 150,000 mile differential scheduled maintenance. BOOKMARKED!!

[@-Wreckanize-]

Don't ever follow manufacturer recommended maintenance intervals, it will destroy your car. 150K miles for transmission oil change, lol. I'm changing my diff fluid every 30k, break fluid every 2 years, coolant every 2 years, engine oil every 6 months, trans every 30K miles.

[@maddogmark6460]

Many owners actually track their cars. The extreme high temps will require changing fluids on a regular basis. Those owners that use their cars for groceries and such can follow the owners manual.

[@meares442]

I’m doing mine now at 97576 miles… I wouldn’t wait until 150

[@troypower4733]

Well done, thanks for posting the video. Will tune in to the trans fluid change episode when you post, keep it up brother!

[@Lateralgrip]

awesome video. I have been wanting to do it but do not want to be wastefull. Even your oil with 5k and 4 HPDE looked good. i hit 6k and only 2 track day but car is 1 year old. I may just do it once a year and more frequent if tracked more.

[@JDM_MSK]

Thanks for doing this. I have a magnetic 2017 as well and need to change my Diff fluid.

[@russandadamsgarage105]

ballzasspower no problem. It's a really easy change. You can actually just disconnect the line without pulling the plug like I did but I wanted to see the magnet and clean it off. -Adam

[@PischkePerformance]

Just found this channel, great video man! Might I also say, that is a pretty sweet 5th gen Honda Prelude set up next to you on the lift!

[@russandadamsgarage105]

Pischke Performance yes it is sir. Thanks for commenting.

[@jhsoakcgkosacvbapihy]

That's my Prelude haha thanks, follow me on Instagram if you wanna see more. joseph__marcano

[@ls1killer1]

I was going to say you must be on a base. Ft Hood by any chance? They have the same looking set up.

[@troyvan6952]

Great video bro, nice car. If you use redline fluids they come with the friction modifiers.

[@leemoknows]

Dang, composite oil pan. I didn't know that about the GT350. With the cooling systems on this car, it would probably make me nervous lol. Nice video man.

[@Lateralgrip]

azurebluemach why nervous?

[@leemoknows]

Harold Ortiz That I'd have a leak in the fittings to the cooling system.

[@Lateralgrip]

NAH!!!! But on the other hand, there is also a composite radiator support to save weight ; )

[@cabudge09]

Harold Ortiz it's actually a carbon fiber radiator support.

[@Lateralgrip]

cabudge09 don't believe the hype it's not actual true carbon fiber it's a mixture of plastic and carbon fibor materials that's why on the radiator support it says carbon fiber composite.

[@carstuff4u942]

Absolutely a great video. I appreciate the detail looking under the car. I wonder if you would have started it would the diff oil pump kicked on and drained the system?? Not saying you're doing anything wrong. Just wondering.

[@russandadamsgarage105]

Steve B thanks for commenting. There is a thermal switch that activates the pump. I read on one of the forums that someone makes a kit to activate the pump in order to get more fluid out. If you track your car as long as you change the fluid frequently you should be fine. -Adam

[@akiledavis125]

How did you find a place that rents outs car bays to work on cars??

[@TheOldmane]

Pretty cool vid. But something struck me a little bit odd. It seemed like you filled the oil then reconnected the line. Then you put the plug in. Wouldn't the oil have leaked out of you did it in that order instead of connecting the line, then filling the oil, then put the plug back in? Also when draining, did you use the pump to pull out any more fluid? I'd also like to see a follow up video of how it drives or anything you did before you took a drive.

[@cabudge09]

I had like 20 video clips that I combined to make the final video. I may have inadvertently put them in the wrong order when editing. It was a long day. I reattached and tightened down the line before I refilled the diff. As far as actuating the pump it's not necessary to do the oil change. I got 90% of the fluid out without actuating the pump. I am very thorough when it comes to the maintenance of my vehicles and I change the gear oil every few thousand miles. Because I change it so frequently it's not a big deal if I only get 90% of the fluid out. There is a company developing a kit that will allow you to manually activate the pump and get all the fluid out. Thanks for commenting

[@Track_Rat_647]

Good video, but there is a step in the service manual you need to accomplish, priming the pump. “b Fill axle to bottom of fill plug opening, operate the axle cooler pump using computer diagnostic tool to prime the cooler system, then refill axle to ~9mm below the fill plug level. This level includes friction modifier.”

[@eddiegarcia1560]

That's Marcanos blue prelude in the back. 500whp him and his boyfriend are always doing highway pulls.

[@scottbarker9058]

IN THE PAST W/ MY EXPER. IVE ALWAYS PUMPED THE NEW OIL IN TILL IT STARTED TO COME OUT OF THE SIDE FILL OPENING.

[@svt101]

Will you ever cut out the resonators?

[@cabudge09]

I have really been thinking about it. I think eventually I will but I'm afraid I won't like the sound afterwards. The car sounds so good as is...what do you think? Should I remove them?

[@Lateralgrip]

cabudge09 it does sound really good stock. I kept my exhuast stock and hangs in my garage. I did install the Borla Atak. I always can swap it back to stock.

[@cabudge09]

How do you like the sound. Do you have any video clips of the sound?

[@motorsporthobby177]

Great vid. Thanks for posting. Ill be doing this soon, so this has been a good resource? Quick question, which manual are you referring to on the GT350 and where do i get it?

[@Berol2000]

What's with the random gawkers? That would drive me crazy.

[@grandtourisbros]

Is it possible to fill until it overflows out of the fill hole to ensure max capacity is in the diff?

[@russandadamsgarage105]

gt350recon yes, it actually started to trickle out when I finished filling it.

[@grandtourisbros]

Gotcha. Thanks.

[@SHADOWBLACKs650]

I'm surprised the electronic steering rack doesn't have a small fresh air inlet for it.

[@DylanDunford]

I didn't think the friction modifier was needed in the Torsen dif?

[@russandadamsgarage105]

Dylan Dunford it wasn't required on the Boss 302 but the GT350 manual calls for it.

[@therod785]

Why change the rear end oil if the car is fairly new?

[@russandadamsgarage105]

erik rod because I track the car and I also wanted to get a look at the oil. Preventative maintenance. -Adam

[@mytten]

Maybe i missed it, but why change it already? xD

[@russandadamsgarage105]

Morten Nielsen I'm OCD when it comes to the maintenance on my vehicles. Also, not a bad ideas after you track your car to make sure everything is kosher under the car. I'd have to look in the manual again but there is a recommendation to change the oils based on track hours.

[@SHADOWBLACKs650]

That old fluid is still good....

[@fitchmister3158]

Transmission fluid change next!!!!

[@fitchmister3158]

Fill port is on the drivers side of transmission.

[@SCStang]

Awesome video but would’ve loved to hear 50k miles not 5k.. the oil still is brand new at that point

[@maddogmark6460]

Not if your track your car.

[@erickwalker11]

LOL towards the beginning of the video he say okay enough of that let's get to work and then you go around looking at stuff again. I had to fast forward man

[@digitalunit318]

so have you figured out how to get the remaining oil out of the diff cooler? Total capacity is supposed to be like 6.6 quarts. Next time you change anything, switch to AMSOIL. Get rid of that motorcraft garbage.

[@paulmccutcheon]

Supplemental document for GT350 indicates 2.05 quarts and 4.25 oz of friction modifier. Nowhere near 6.6.quarts.

[@hmackprotection1]

👍‼️
