I\'ve got a 1.5way LSD on my FD...

I\'ve got the feeling the diff oil hasn\'t been changed for a while, and want to look after it...

How would I go about changing the diff oil? and what should I put in it?

Is it easily accessible without a ramp?

cheers  :wave

Fairly easy to do without a ramp. Take it for a drive to warm the oil up, so that it will drain out a little easier.

1, Place a tray to catch the old oil.
2, Undo the top (filler) bung.
3, Undo the bottom bung.
4, Once most all of it is out, replace the bottom bung.
5, Fill with a decent diff grade oil. I\'m sure OpieOils will be along to advise. I\'ve used Silkolene and Redline before, and would use both without issue.
