I am a Ford tech and the diff doesn't need to be serviced (new lube) unless it is torn down or it has a leak, however it is my opinion that under heavy usage such as towing it should be serviced at around 60,000.

hi, you should only use the correct oil for this type of gearbox, available from the jaguar dealer, for the price of posibly damaging the gearbox with the wrong oil you may as well pay a little more from the dealer. regards mark.

Front Differential Oil Change

1. Before changing or inspecting oil, be sure to stop engine and lift vehicle horizontally.
2. With vehicle lifted up, check leakage. If leakage exists, correct it. NOTE: Whenever vehicle is hoisted for any other service work than oil change, also be sure to check for oil leakage.
3. Remove oil filler plug (2).
4. Remove drain plug (1), and drain old oil.
5. Apply sealant to thread of drain plug (1), and tighten it to specified torque.Tightening torque Differential oil drain plug a: 23 Nm (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 ft. lbs.)
6. Pour new specified oil until oil level reaches bottom of oil filler plug hole (3) as shown in figure. NOTE:

• Hypoid gear oil must be used for differential.
• It is highly recommended to use API GL-5 80W-90 gear oil.

The differential will have a plug in the driver's side of the housing that is removed with a 3/8" drive ratchet or square drive. Be sure you know what type of fluid is recommended for your vehicle. It will depend on whether it is a locking differential or standard.

SOURCE: Transfer and Differential oil change for RX300

your front wheel drive rx300 doesnt use gear oil, the differential is lubricated internally by transmission fluid. the trans fluid is only reccomended if its dirty. if its a dark brownish red thats normal. or if its pinkish red then its new. if its black or yellow then time to flush it out. if you decide to change the trans fluid I believe the spec is 3qts. check it with the engine running and cold. thats the most accurate way to check it.

Testimonial: "Your clarification is very helpful. Thanks a lot. I did not find the answer clearly anywhere. Does this transaxle unit has only one outlet?"
