Default Changed differential fluid

- I recommend this one..especially if it's never been done or for a lot of miles.

Had it done at the dealer for $35. I don't think mine was ever changed and now the car is at 140K miles. It might have been done 5 years ago or something, but still a looong time.

The acceleration felt alot better after the change. Whatever changed was slightly noticeable and oddly for the first few miles the rear felt very 'pressurized.' I could say it seemed like the car was wanting to move even when I had the brakes pressed.

Oh ya - The mechanics at the dealer were all crowding under my car to see that I had a modfied exhaust ;-) ;-)

Thanks, I did not change it in my car either. I heard that it is kind of tight space where the filler hole is. I just lookup on the synthetic diff. oil and notice that they usually offer two types: with limited slip friction modifiers and without. Do you know which kind goes in our car?
