(Dealer would be a whole lot more, I suspect.) Took about 30 minutes for them to do it. Use the right fluid.

My dealer quoted my $140 and I said it's a quart of fluid and it takes 15 minutes to do. They then changed the price to $66. That's not too far from your $59. You have to haggle with them because they will rip you off. I guess most diffs these days are on trucks and they hold 3 quarts so as soon as you ask them they think about the truck and assume the camaro will be the same.

*edit, I just went through the manual and while it does say that it should be changed every 6hrs of racing nowhere that I can find does it list 1,500 miles.

It says if you are going to race it then change it after your 1500 mile break in and after every time you race it.
