This video will show you how to properly drain and fill the rear differential fluid on your 2015-2020 Chevy Colorado or GMC Canyon. NOTE: I guess for 2019+, GM deleted the drain plug from the diff. So now to drain the oil, you have to loosen all the bolts on the differential cover. OEM GM Dexron Gear Fluid Part #: 19352759 - Buy it Here: https://amzn.to/3S0mBus Rear Differential Oil Capacity: 1.6 quarts Rear Differential Oil Type: 75W-90 ================================================================================ I recently switched to this fluid in March 2024. Works great and does not have LS additive. Mobile1 Delvac 75W90 Diff Fluid (no LS additive) - https://amzn.to/3TRd64M NOTE: Trucks with G80 rear end should use a fluid with NO limited slip (LS) additivie. See above, the Mobile1 Delvac is a great option for G80 equipped trucks. I used Mobil1 Gear Lube with friction modifier originally in the video. But after a few hundred miles I drained that out and used the OEM GM fluid. Part # 19352759, Dexron Gear Fluid.
