I want to change the oil in our side by side. I can't access the drain plug and I can't get a tube in the filler hole to suck out the old oil.

I'm thinking of filling the housing all the way up then driving it a few minutes to mix it all up then pulling the fill plug and letting it drain till it's at that level.

Thinking that's my only option. Kinda wasteful but cheaper than fixing the differential when it blows up from lack of maintenance

Won’t work. Even if you could fill it up then you would bLow the oil out the vent.

You won't gain much with your method. I would leave it be.

The fsm says to just pull the plug

So that stinks, do they have a child with small hands performing these tasks while they write the procedures for the manual?

I have done the top video. It's easy. The rear diff is the one I'm concerned about. I will get to the front when I can

I got it out. Had to cut the skid plate with a die grinder. It was stupid tight. Had to lock 2 wrenches together then kick them to get it loose. Now I gotta find something I can use to put back in the hole that not an Allen or torx.

die grinder required to change the diff oil? That is commitment to maintenance!
