Is there a specification for rear differential fluid capacity?
And of course the manual doesn’t specify the capacity for the rear differential. All that to say, does anyone know the specifics for the fluid capacity? I just want to make sure I didn’t overfill. Assuming you have the factory cover on it and the truck is on level ground, you fill it until it starts coming back out the fill hole.
When to change differential fluid on a Honda Accord?
Honda’s recommended service schedule for the differential fluid is 15,000 miles for severe usage and 30,000 miles for normal usage. After this exercise, I would recommend that you change your diff fluid at about 7,500-12,500 miles depending on how you drive your car. This is obviously at the rear of the car looking up at the differential.
What’s the best way to change the differential fluid?
A jack w/ jack stands, a makeshift grease pit, or a car lift (any way to lift the car up enough to get under it). PLEASE BE SAFE AND USE COMMON SENSE WHEN DOING THIS!

How much diff fluid do I need for my rear differential?
Check out red line diff fluid. Gr8bawana, tidefan1967 and turkeybird56 like this. 2.3 for the rear. 1.15 for the front. You probably didn’t get 2.5 in the rear unless you were on unlevel ground. Get it on level ground, pull the fill plug and let that little extra drain out if in fact you did slightly overfill it.

When to change differential fluid in Honda S2000?
Honda recommends 15,000 miles for severe usage while 30,000 miles for normal usage using their Honda MTF. Given my experience after this, I will be replacing the fluid every 10,000 miles with a better synthetic gear oil or every 7,500 miles with the Honda MTF. The drain plug has a weak magnet embedded in it.
