Hi All,
After reading several posts about changing the reduction gear oil, and considering my leaf has done 140k miles now I thought I'd go for it!

I used Red Line D6 ATF Auto.
As you can see from the vid the old oil was quite dark, but still very viscose.
There weren’t many filings on the screws at all.
I’ve seen on average a 10-15% increase in my miles per kWh!
I only really use the vehicle for my 18 mile round trip commute and usually average 3.8 miles per kWh in the summer months
Since doing this it has increased to 4.5!
