Diff question ?

Just checked the fluid levels in both diffs and front took 0.3l and the back took about 0.5 l to fill them neither of them has a leak anywhere so either they haven't been filled correctly in the past or the oil has disappeared , so a question for the experts , is it normal for the fluid level to drop over time with no visible leaks ? Cheers .

The diffs take a set quantity of oil, and it seems that this is not enough to make it come out of the holes. Basically there is nowhere for the fluid to go or get used up.

To refresh the oil you drain it down and put in a set amount as given in the workshop manual👍 There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Thought it couldn't go anywhere, but thought like most boxes the oil should trickle out the fill plug, I'll drop the fluids and refill them with the right amount after Xmas . Thanks for that

Thanks! That link is for the rear diff - quantity similar to the 3.0L. Can we assume 3.6L is also similar to the 3.0L for the front? 2012 5.0L S/C
