I bought 10qts of Royal Purple synthetic gear oil. Wanted to change my F and R gear oil. I have not change it since I had my H2 re-geared. When I went to a local shop, I was told it will cost me around $150-180 for LABOR ALONE. So I told myself, I will just do it.
Today, I MESSED up. I guess I retorqued my drain plug, I over torqued it. After I poured 2qts into the REAR axle, I noticed it was dripping. I removed the drain plug and was able to save the 2 quarts. I applied silicone thread sealer. Poured in half a quart. I noticed it was still leaking. I inspected the bottom of the axle cover (ORU brand) and noticed that there was a hairline CRACK!
There you go. Trying to save money and that's what happened. What a day for an after xmas. I'm pissed at myself. Not to mention my wife will be pissed too. :hammer:
