[QUOTE="Jerry G., post: 1037249, member: 72465"] I have done much research on oils and I read that if the oil co. puts on drop of full synthetic oil in regular oil they can call it synthetic blend therefor I think the blends are a rip off and I wont use them . I have been using high mileage full synthetic in my trac and I have 91,400 miles and so far the garage floor is free rom any drips . I just changed rear diff. oil and on a 2007 the lower control arms sit right next to the diff. .Forget taking the cover off ,thats why they have a 3/4 in. plug there .When you get that off most of the oil comes out . I had fun getting both fill and drain plugs off beating the wrenches with a 2LB hammer . Not fun at all . If you remove the spare tire there is plenty room to tip the new oil bottle upside down but you need to use a plastic tubing on the end of the bottle . Am really glad that job is finished . I had to use a 3/4 adapter with a 3/4 in. open end wrench because there is no room for a ratchet or a breaker bar finally got the plugs off. [/QUOTE]
