I can not locate the level plug for the front diff oil on my L245DT. There is a plug on top of the axle housings either side, when removed, these only show the front drive axles (no dip sticks etc), I can feel the oil level by placing a small screwdriver down beside the axle shaft on each side. I would like to change the oil, is this done by measuring what comes out, or is there a correct level plug somewhere? I would appreciate any assistance, thank you.

Remove one for the front tire/wheel assymblies. The level plug is between the wheel and the axle pivot houseing. Once you find it, you cansee why I said "allmost put the wheel off".
I am still not certain we a talking about the same compartment, I have found level plugs for the drive hubs on each front wheel, these are in behind the wheel rim. But I am after the oil level for the front differential (centre) section.
If you cannot find literature that states amount..........ie........1qt or 1 liter......or?
If you drain a quart, reinstall a quart.
As long as the bearings are in the bath...........an once or two one way or the other is just not that crucial.
Typically difs are filled just above the half way mark.
