Naycrx Member Since: 11 Oct 2023 Location: Nottinghamshire Posts: 129	Diff oil Lots of research so far....but one question on diff oil, I have used the castrol website to determine the correct oil. Watching videos, it appears most people just fill the oil in the diffs to the height of the filling plug? Basically till it spills out? Is this OK...given the car will be level Cheers
