Gearbox / Front Diff Oil
 
Hi all,

2007 STi.

Can I just ask, when I check the oil on the gearbox dipstick, the oil looks clean and spot on the level....cool.

However, am I right in thinking that it's the same oil for both the gearbox and the front diff? I see there is two separate drain plugs, I guess because of where the bottom of the front diff drops down.

Filling for both seems to be from the dipstick hole at the top yes?
I'm just making sure that there isn't a separate fill / level hole for the front diff somewhere under the car?

the front diff and gearbox are joined , so just fill from the dipstick and it fills both , two drain plugs both need un doing when you want to drain the oil
