Another diff fluid change question

Two things:

Is anyone familiar with using Amsoil 'Easy-pack'?

And if so, is there enough room under the car to get this up in there and fill the diff with it?

Thanks

Amsoil doesn't sell any diff fluid that's compatible with our LSD.

Personally, I used a fluid transfer pump and GM's LSD fluid. Works fine.

When I changed my diff fluid, having a transfer pump with a hose made the job mess-free. I can't imagine that squeezing a bag with no hose into the cramped area where the fill plug is would result in anything other than a mess...

Wow, you don't have a Chevy or any other GM dealer near you??

Amazon and other online retailers have it.

It's a thigh squeeze for sure...I used a transfer hand pump picked up at local parts store.

Shop around.
I picked up two quarts at the local dealer as time was a concern, later found it online for about half what dealer charged, ordered several quarts.

You can grab a nice little transfer pump and the GM fluid at Amazon for sure. I had to replace my pump so I bought both, I think the pump was maybe $20...

A slightly better price on Amazon, you'll need two.
