Havent done it yet in mine but I plan to soon.
On most cars there are two plugs. One is near the bottom of the box/diff and the other is a few inches above it.
You usually take out the top one and then the bottom one to let the old oil out.
Then put the bottom one back in and pour it in the top one or filler hole until it runs out of the top one.
I know that sounds a bit simple but thats all there is to it.

ALWAYS remove the filler plugs before you remove the drain plugs.
That way you don't end up with an undriveable car with no oil in it, when you find you can't get the filler plug undone for some teason.
