72,500 miles later and 2nd drain and refill of Differential

The first time at 133,000 miles and it stunk beyond belief. If you have ever done the job you will know how bad it can be.

Both times I used a quart of Red Line MT-90 75W90 Gear Oil with a M1 top up for the last bit.

This time out 72,500 miles later and it was dark in color but still smelled fresh.

Doesn't cost much for lots of protection and peace of mind.

Same old tip "REMOVE THE FILL PLUG BEFORE THE DRAIN PLUG!" You know why!
