Default 15Kmi 'Recommended Service'

Looking at future maintenance schedule info for my new 2023 BL Nori Green, it states: 'Inspect front/rear differential oil'. What exactly is supposed to be done here?

This is a high tech inspection JK
Basically they check the diff oil levels, check for leaks, and check that the oil is clear and not full of metal particles or milky from water contamination.

To inspect the diff oil is false economy ... just drain and refill for close to the same amount of effort.

Unless there is visual leakage ... all good. I always initially change differential oil at 5,000 miles ... always black and full of metal particles. Beyond that initial purge ... your choice on change interval.

Understood that "Lease Flippers" don't care beyond their 2-3 year turn-in obligation ... but for long-term owners of a $60,000+ vehicle ... cheap insurance.

"High Tech Inspection" ... ?#? ... this is about as "Low Tech" as it comes ... other than possibly Windshield Wiper Blade inspection.

2-300 hundred years from now it will be determined that the beginning of the end of American world influence started with the incessant use of acronyms.

America is not confused ... only distracted ... while the rest of the world still actually knows how to communicate.
