Hey, I was going to change the oil for the first time in my 2002 blazer 4wd and I accidentally unbolted the wrong nut. It faces the drivers side tire. Is this the front differential fluid? I found the oil drain plug and it faces the rear of my vehicle.

Thanks.

 

Oops.. lol might as well change that too then. But if you put your finger in there and fluid was inside then its probably the front differential.

 

Ok, I'll double check. I knew it was the wrong one because it only took like less than 30 seconds for the oil to stop coming out....

From what I've seen i use the 75-90 gear oil for this truck? 2002 blazer 4wd....

Thanks!

 

I drained the tranny fluid from my wife's brand new Passat turbo once. The fluid they use is brown and it has a ZF sealed for life transmission. The only way to get the $10 a quart fluid back in was to pump it from underneath the car with the front wheels jacked up having someone sitting on top of you going through the gears.

Moral is never work on the wife's car.

 

Ohh yeah then you pulled the front diff drain plug, i was thinking you were talking abbot the fill plug.. which you will need to find now

 

I thought the moral was "Don't buy a Volkswagen."

 

You got that right brotha..........

 

moral is, dont work on a car if you cant identify your engine from the rest of the thing.

Only exception is Volkswagons, those things are a pain.

I swear i know how their engineers think, "How can we make a car run on premium, be impossible to work on, and not do anything the conventional way?"
