SPECIAL NOTE: Make sure you're able to remove the fill plug first, BEFORE removing the drain plug and draining the gear oil. Also, use an Allen / Hex bolt instead of a Torx!!!

[@perpetualgrin5804]

No harm in changing it, for peace of mind.

[@TheLemonFactor]

My thoughts exactly 😁👍

Hey I love these sportcross videos alot! I have 2 Altezza gita’s back here in NZ, a 1gfe and 2jzge cos i love them so much :) Im finding these videos very helpful so please keep them going 🙌

[@TheLemonFactor]

Hey, thanks for your support 👍. I’m glad to hear that you are enjoying the videos 😁

[@SupramanTRD]

I did both of my parents altezza gitas (sportcross) recently. I'm happy it never gave me an issue. I learned the fill bolt first when working with the getrag on my supra and couldn't get that plug out.

[@TheLemonFactor]

“Both” - guess your parents are real fans 👍😁

[@briann977]

Still love the content, but hate that music. (Sorry!) At first when I saw you squeezing that bag, I thought you were going to make a big mess. You did well, though! Nice job. I use a pump attachment for the bottles when I fill diffs. Any of the typical oil leaks on this 2JZ? I've already done the cam/crank seals, valve cover gasket, and need to do the rear main seal (and maybe even the oil pan gasket). Keep up the great content!

[@TheLemonFactor]

Thanks for the support 👍. So far I have found that I need to replace the valve cover gaskets, nothing else seems to be glaring, but 🤷‍♂️

[@supermazda3]

Are you still in Colorado?

[@TheLemonFactor]

Yes, I am 😁👍
