My baby was due for the 3000 mile service so I took her in yesterday. The dealer called me back and showed me the rear diff fluid and it was a little off color and he suggested changing it. I agreed and they did the front as well. I know it shouldnt need it then. The service manager told me it was nothing to be concerned with and that sometimes it happens when breaking in a new vehicle. Is he blowing smoke up my butt or do I have a problem that needs to be fixed?

 

Nuff said. They need your money. Do it yourself at 5K miles.

 

I figured they probably just needed money but wanted to be on the safe side. Isnt it recommended for its first change at 18000 miles though?

 

Did my first one at 15k.

 

Just had mine done yesterday, and I have 18K on the JK...I'll do the front once it has 21K.

 

They are so stupid...
the rear will be disscolored IF you have a LSD, its the additive they use to reduce friction in the clutches.

 

that dealer/mechanic should be hung

 

its not even due till atleast 15K is it...?

and they charge like 400$

SUCK ME

 

$ 400 I paid $ 120.00...

 

yeah no way in fkin hell it should be done at 3k, do it yourself for 40-50bucks with synthetic gear oil
