Just a quick Question. How should I go about draining the final drives on my 420c, what oil should I i put back in?

there should be a drain plug at the bottom on the inside of the finals and a check plug a few inches up from the drain hole. When I drained mine I replaced it with 80 weight gear oil, also check the bearings on the finals, that cost me a lot the money and time by not caching a bad bearing in time.

Buy 80W90 oil in the quart bottles so you have a way to squirt it in (transmission is in the way). I think 2 quarts will cover both final drives with a little left over.
