Just changed rear diferential oil on XF SC
 

it was much more easier than I thought(no expierence with car maintenance)


unbolt oil level bolt, make U shape plastic tube put it on medical syringe i got from job and 1.3 liter oil went out, i believe it was empty
it was black as hell. then with same syringe put new oil. total 25minutes of work

Thanks for the pictures and advice elviukai,
What year is your XF, and how many miles were on it? Had you felt the rumbling while turning that is usually the symptom of a diff issue?

Its 2008 05, I didnt have any rumbling , mileage is 150 000miles and diff was virgin according level bolt (but could be replaced earlier as recall as I'm wecond owner.) i have very small leak (around 150ml/year/15000miles)

Its 2008 05, when you mention I may had/have slight vibration when turning at low speeds(but to one side only) Now its dificult to tell because i have small exaust leak somewhere(car sound now like myfriends modified ehaust XFR) and I belive get some vibrations from gearbox/TC.


Mileage is 150 000miles and differential was virgin according level bolt condition (but could be replaced earlier as recall as I'm second owner.) I have very small leak (around 150ml/year/15000miles) in rear diferential unit.

So yours is the 4.2?

yes, 4.2 supercharged in Europe it was called SV8.
