post your latest differential fluid change

[jkasch]

P.S. The squeeze bags the Severe Gear comes in make getting the fluid in a cramped fill hole a snap.

Added a squeeze bag of 75W-90 Severe Gear to replace some of the Severe Gear 75W-110 I had in the 4-pinion custom built LSD in my 2005 Ford Falcon.

Out: Napa 80W90
In: Valvoline Synthetic 75W90
I put the Napa in about a year and a half ago, what came out was filthy and may have been the factory fill, so I just put the Napa in to sort of flush the rest of the crud out, and put back in 75W90 synthetic like the manual says, I only put maybe 3-5k on it since I haven't been driving much.
