If you want to be Practical and Logical you can just drain the relatively virgin oil after 5k miles into a clean oil pan, clean the drain plug, and refill the differential with the same oil assuming it is just as good - which it should be.

What I'm saying is this: the sludge/shavings will always be there. You change your oil based on the ability of the oil to protect the differential, not based on what sludge is left. Same thing applies for the transmission, same thing for the engine. For the average driver you follow the factory service interval. I never said it was illogical, you said it. What I said is that this is absurd. Quote:

Noob question: would a dealership service dept. be able to know you used non-OEM fluids? I know that can be a reason for warranty invalidation.

I think it just has to meet manufacturer's specs.

I don't think u can find it. It only comes in 5 gallon pails which means the dealer would have to do it?

As long as it is within the range suggested by the manufacturer, it is not an issue. Any dealer that argues otherwise doesn't deserve your business. If you used something out of the range... then you're SOL. -alex |
