Peal off that plug, fill er up, and plug it back up. I thought the plug was weird but it seems effective enough... Also for someone who asked above, use the cheap gear oil and change it often, this way your more protected than a fancy syntehetic.

It doesnt matter how cold it is outside, when you start driving the diff fluid will heat up to operating temp fast. unless you live somewhere where it is constantly below -20 or -30 degrees i wouldnt worry about it.

With your oil i wouldnt cheap out, go with full synthetic instead of high mileage. The extra 10$ on better oil will save you alot of money farther on down the road. Just my .02

No they won't break. But don't use a crescent wrench, rent a socket if you don't have one
