The owner shows why the manual's third drain plug (near the diff) is unnecessary if the three rear plugs are used, since drive-shaft clearance makes it hard to remove. He also flags a known faulty hydraulic valve/O-ring issue the dealership fixed. Useful for existing 2126 owners doing their own fluid changes.
Posted by an owner (Shadow Drone) documenting hands-on maintenance and dealership interactions on his own Mahindra 2126.
No. If you drain the three rear plugs fully, the diff-side plug stays dry since nothing drains from it, and it is hard to remove due to drive-shaft clearance.
Yes, the dealership said the original hydraulic valves have a design flaw in the O-rings causing leaks, especially once an implement like the loader is disconnected.
Coat it with grease to prevent rust, since the owner found his had rusted after not using the lower power takeoff connector or gear.
