    My running theory is that the fluid contains a Garnet lapping fluid that becomes inert after a given time. So people who change early are really looking at the lapping compound and not wear and tear.

    It's also funny how many people didn't properly read the OP

    YES!! Let me get this straight....our oil can go 10k between changes and the diff and tranny can’t make it more than 30k????

    I’m all about maintenance and every car I have owned has had more than 100k on it when I sold it (my e46 had 220k miles), just don’t get the logic with the tranny and diff change interval on these

    Impact is always better than torque for stuck bolts.

    Hey guys, Can both fill & drain plug on front diff can be replaced with the Lexus part? And if so why not replace both instead of just the drain plug?

    Was it tight to do the front diff?, how about the transfer case ?, what oil did you go with and approximately how much fluid did it take?, i did my rear diff but I still need to do the above mentioned things.
    Thanks:canada:

    So you really want to know why yours (and 99 and 44/100's) of everyone else's diff fluid is clear at 50K yet all you read here is it was black at 5K?
    Because people are amazing at the lengths they will go to to justify their beliefs.
    Lol. "My granddadd and my dad and my uncle all say there's break in oil in there son and you gotta change that shit before 5K or the dark side of the moon will glow and we will all die.!"

    So they change it, squint with one eye closed and boom!!! They think their fluid is black. They immediately pull out their phones and triumphantly post that their whole lineage going back to the Spanish war was correct... the fluid is dirty.
    Never mind that pan of mostly clean fluid is sitting quietly over in the corner... never to be seen or spoken about again.
