I did the differential saturday (994 miles) ... I took some good pics and i'll post up a quick DIY soon.

I used Royal Purple Max Gear 75w/90 that already has the friction modifier in it.

oil fuild was very gray (i read somewhere there's something in it that makes it that color, but that it goes away after a couple thousand miles???)... and it indeed smells horrible.

I put in a full quart with a little pump, and it didn't drip OUT of the whole, but i stuck my pinky in there, and i could feel it just below the hole, should be perfect.

After some research, I've decided to wait a little bit on the tranny fluid swap....
