How to refill differential fluid?

[rc33t]

I drained the differential fluid (gear oil) and have no idea how to refill it? Does anybody know where is it located and how much I should put?

If this is the rear diff, it's in the side near the top. Same plug as the one you drained from.

1.4L I believe.. just fill it until it starts to run out.

It’s actually the front one. I ended up watching a video of Kia Stinger which shares the same platform. It’s a pain to work on, but thank you for the info!

For future reference, always make sure you can open the fill plug before removing the drain plug.

Oh my god. Its really tricky to change front differential fluid. In Korea, Official dealers never do that oil change for us because of difficulty, we need to use third party oil change shop. I even heard you need to lift your engine a little bit to change front differential fluid.
Hope you could refill the fluid well..
