Diff service because of C5
Just wanted to share that after reading so many great threads here on C5 I decided to take my ZL into one of my shops to get the rear diff serviced. I did talk to a GM dealership and they advised me it wasn't needed as I have only 12K KM's or about 7K miles on it.
Anyway, the guys ordered in the proper GM diff fluid for my car and I was shocked how dirty the fluid was. It was full of fine metallic fluid and there was a ton of filings on the magnet. I did snap a picture of a sample of how dark the fluid was on a rag. Sorry for the poor picture but there's no flash with an iPad.
I'm going to do it again in a bit and keep doing it until the pattern is set on the ring and pinion and it stops getting dirty so quick. Thanks again for to all the guys who posted and convinced me that this was a good idea. And it was.
