Does anybody have a picture of where the rear axle fill plug is located? Thanks!

I haven't had a chance to crawl under the 2000 R to see where the plug is, but on the 98XC (if I recall correctly from 5 years ago!) if you raise the rear of the car and crawl under, looking from the front of the car toward the back differential housing, and to the RH side as you look at it, (LH side of car) there should be a drain plug half way up the side of the differential housing.

There was no drain plug and I had to use a sucker to pull as much of the old oil out and then refill.

Ok, thanks a lot. I got a syringe to get the old fluid out and the new stuff back in
