soares Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Hey guys. I completed rear diff, now on to front diff. Fluid is drained, but I can’t find the fill hole. I have to leave my house in 90 minutes to get my son from daycare. Is the fill hole located right above the passenger side axle? I did a quick search but came up with “ breather tube” which I do not believe applies to MY2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x1conroe Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Generally you want to remove the fill plug before draining the fluid. The fill plug is located on the passenger side of the engine bay and uses a hex socket. I forgot what size it is exactly but i can figure it out when i get home from work today. I used something like this: https://www.harborfreight.com/6-pc-38-in-drive-metric-hex-socket-set-69546.html I have a '13 and lots of screws/bolts changed in the 5th gen then. There is no tube as shown in the video above. I believe that is for 10-12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soares Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 Thanks for the comments guys. It is located directly above the axle on the passenger side. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soares Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 This is the front fill port for MY2014 Incase anyone is looking. Passenger side just above axle. No need to take off wheel & wheel well liner to access. I used an 3/8” ratchet with 3” extension and floor jack handle as a persuader. I believe it was a 10mm hex head but don’t quote me on that. Here’s drain and check ports. (Self explanatory) Front diff drain plug gasket.. Rear diff drain and check/fill gasket. Front diff check and fill gasket. Need 2 for rear and 2 for front. Torque specs are as follows (from Haynes repair manual) Front diff drain plug (T70).. (depending on gaskets) Aluminum gaskets - 32 ft pounds Metal or copper gaskets - 51 ft pounds Check and fill ports - 36.9 ft pounds Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
