I don't believe our differentials have a drain plug. Feel free to drop the pan if you want, but I always suck out as much gear oil as I can and then replace with new oil. I believe a 17mm allen socket is the tool to remove the plug. Fill until it starts flowing out, then install the plug. Suction tool like this: http://www.amazon.com/Plews-Lubrimatic-30-118-Suction-Gun/dp/B001ADP7TU
