Rear End fluid change when should we do it ?

When should we change the differential fluid out on the v6 ? also I am coming up on 30k miles should I consider a transmission flush with all the small issue arising with the transmissions shaking shuttering etc.. ?

I was having a slight shuttering in v4 mode but it has stopped since.

Diff fluid i did the first one at 1500. The second at 25,000 miles. Im at 32k now and ill prob do it again by 35k.


If you have the limited slip diff, 45k under normal operation.

For severe duty, or if you drive hard or spirited:
The manual says transfluid and filter & diff fluid every 45,000 miles or every 2 years....whatever comes first.

Did the diff fluid myself. That's just two allen screws and 1/2 a liter of fluid. 25 min or less really. Will have to use a fluid tranfer pump. 10$ at almost any auto parts store.

Why do you change the diff fluid so early and then again at 25k?

new fluid > then old fluid and the v6 only requires .5 QT. Its never going to hurt to put in new fluid plus he tracks his car.
