Re: 1HDT Engine Drain Size & thread & Holes in Shock Towers

given the rules around corrosion within 200mm of shock mounts, I am picking that drilling is a no no depending on where? what are you mounting? Engine coolant heater, has to be down low and in the US they mount them to the shock mount on 80's. Can't find space anywhere else OHhh I wants one of ...

Re: changing/checking diff oil

yeah you should change the fuel filter as well,
make sure that you use a 24mm 6 point socket on your diff bungs as they round of very easily.
I use 75w/90 oil in my diffs the only thing that could be different in yours would be if it has a LSD fitted, then you will need a specific oil
