I'm going to be changing my diff oil at some point now it looks simple enough but will all the oil drain out as the lower plug looks like it will leave some sitting in the bottom of the unit cheers

Most of the oil drains out OK. Takes the right amount to fill it anyway.
Unscrew the filler before the drain plug, in case the filler won't undo, which would leave you with an iunusable car!
