I have heard a number of different opinions on when to change the differential fluids. I have gone through the owner's manual and must have missed any info on the first fluid change. What is the recommended first fluid change on the Dmax differential(s)? Any info is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Mark

Mark, best rule to follow on these is 500 miles of towing or 5000 miles of regular driving. Which ever comes first. Front is a good idea at that same time as well. After the initial change, your covered for 50k+

As always, thanks for the response. No towing so I'll change around 5000 miles.

Regards and happy holidays,

Wigma,
If you want some practice first, I am at 4700 miles....
