Just recently changed all my oils in the 99 t/d Jackaroo except the front diff.
There appears to be no drain plug just a filler plug halfway up the diff.
All the rest had filler and drain plugs.
Just wondering how you go about changing this oil.
Also used a Castrol lsx 85/140 in the back diff but could not get the additive that was recommended by castrol.
Does anyone know what that additive does?
Cheers

Hi Spud, have just gone through the same excercise.
There is a drain hole, you actually have to remove the lowest bolt on the rear of the housing. I did it and nothing came out, I then had a little jingle with a piece of wire and whammo out came the oil. I think it was just a little bit of sealer filling
the gap.
As for the LSD addittive it is to eliminate "chatter" in the LSD diff friction plates.
Some oils have no need for the additive,
check manufactorers web sites for info.
