The Differential fluid is a synthetic 75W140 gear oil, Ford/Jaguar spec M2C 192 A. I like to stick with a commercial product that calls out the spec. I found CRC Industries - Sta-Lub Syn Go meets the M2C192A spec. Some others do too, but this is easy for me to purchase at a NAPA store. I think Amsoil meets the spec, but I cannot purchase this one easily.

The fill is about 1 1/2 qts. Jaguar will tell you not to change it, but I do anyway. I don't think Diff fluid need to be changed that often, but I look at approx. every 50K miles...or so.

144k kilometres equals 90k miles. I would think you do not need to replace the diff oil yet. It is very long-lived stuff.

thanks for the info guys!
im probably gonna get the differential fluide replaced when i get my next oil change in about 1000k

ive already put so much money into this car within the last few months... might as well do it now whether it's early or not... i dont need anything else BREAKING!!!
