If you are going to work on your car buy all of them. After 7 years on this site your question has to be a first.

OK I can't be a dick it's 23mm. How do you know you have to add"oil" to the diff. You should drain it and replace it instead.

A tip before removing the drain plug: make sure you can remove the fill plug first. Otherwise, you could end up with no way to re-fill the diff until you can remove the seized bolt.
