Hi Guys

I've just replaced my rear diff oil and in metric should take 2.08 L as per spec but with her rear wheels lifted i put in 2.5 L.

Is there any potential problem if i overfilled slightly?

If I were you with the wheels on the ground and axel sitting "normal" I would remove the rubber plug and let the extra run out till it slows to a trickle :lol: The worst case that I can think of is oil running out the wheel seals saturating the parking brake shoes :cry:
