Hi all

I was wondering if anyone could advise on the following. I have just bought an Hz Kingswood 3.3 with standard banjo diff set up. Car has done about 300,000 kms. Motor and transmission have been fully overhauled but diff has never been touched and seems to work ok with no real noise.
Question is should the oil be changed. The factory service manual says that it is not necessary but the factory probably wasn't banking on the car having a service life of over 30 years. Then again if it ain't broke....
Thanks for any advice

I think u use a bottle that you water hanging pots with and squeeze the bottle and then put the tube in the diff and it sucks it out. Not sure if you can get the tube deep into the diff or not.

You could then check the condition of the oil and also the
If its not broke it will be soon
