^^ Of course it is. That's a silly thing to say.
When I did my rear diff I spun the wheels by hand while the plug was out and more fluid drained out, not much but enough that it was worth that small effort. |

? Looks like a normal amount of undercarriage corrosion for a vehicle that gets driven all seasons in the snow belt, especially if in an area that (over)uses salt on the roads...

I drive in all seasons in new york, and I haven't had that much rust on my undercarriage and am at similar mileage. That's why I was asking, I'm assuming his area throws down an obscene amount of salt.

When doing the engine oil change you should start your engine too while drain plug and filter are off. More oil will come out.

Wow that diff drain plug looks filthy. Also I have those same shitty disposable gloves, they always end up ripping.
