Should be easy to fill then as the Castrol synthetic diff oil (SAF-XA) these cars run is not as thick as the old stuff used to be. The best size is one that almost fills the hole.Drain bolt is bottom one on the alloy tail housing. I have put some Nulon diff treatment in mine instead of the expensive Lubrizol that Ford recommend and it has not chattered on tight turns once since then.

I used to use a suction pump and do it in like 10 goes to fill it up.now I just got a fat clear rubber hose, fed it through the rear driver side rim, through the suspension and straight into the filler hole.then I just held up the tube from outside the car, and poured the bottles in. the castrol SAF-XA bottle has the nozzle which fit tightly into the tube, and when I pushed the bottle it forced it down the tube. to empty the tube for removal, I just squeezed the empty bottle into the tube and the air pressure fed it all through the tube into the diff.much easier idea, thanks for the tip!
