DIFFERENTIAL FLUID CHANGE Break In Peroid
Hello. I just recently purchased my ORDERED in 2023 Riverside Blue Metallic Medium Ash Gray Interior 1SS!
I read somewhere where some of you were changing your Differential Fluid in the 1500 Mile Range during the Break In Period? My Question is is this a Warranty Covered or is this a TSB Bulletin? Or is it something I have to pay out of pocket? Thank you Very Much. i appreciate it. |

I did mine at 505 miles and again at 1,500 (did the oil at both those points as well), I did the work myself so it only cost me the fluids (and oil filter), I look at it as cheap insurance...
Both are really easy to do yourself, for the Diff you'll want a hand pump to make filling easier... They are about $10 on Amazon...

Capt, how dirty was your diif fluid at both intervals? I plan on doing the 500 and 1500 changes as well.

I bought mine with about 2500miles and now it has 4k. The rear fluid has never been changed but I have AC Delco 88862624 on its way to my door.

Did mine at 500, then again at 1500. At 500 the fluid was nasty with a good amount of metal on the magnets. At 1500 it was much better with hardly anything on the magnets. I plan to do it every 10K miles since it's cheap and easy. I can't imagine going 45K miles like GM recommends.

I had originally bought 4 quarts of differential fluid which got me exactly 3 fluid changes (each change is about 1.3 qts)... Worked out perfect... If you do the work yourself (super easy) it costs about $29 per fluid change... Even if you can't do it yourself I would have it done by 1,000 miles and then again at like 5,000 miles, then after that you can probably go 10,000 - 15,000 miles between changes if you don't want to spend the money (for someone else to do it)...

Thanks Capt. I cleaned out my dealer of their last 2 quart's, then after they restocked I took 3 of their last 4 quarts. Ive known the parts guy for decades, he asked why so many, I replied I want get get them at $28 today before they're $35 at a later date. Converting it into price per gallon this shit is $112 per gallon. UFB. The Mobil1 75W-90 is $77 per gallon but I wanted to stick with AC Delco factory fill.

I just changed mine at 1500. Wasn’t as dirty as I thought it would be, but it definitely had some metal in it. The small dealer I bought my car from didn’t even have any in stock.

Which means your old bottle pump likely doesn't work on the new bottle... I had to pour the new fluid into the old bottle last night to change mine...
