Sunk my rear end for about 10 minutes... how urgent is a rear diff fluid change?

a 1997 Honda civic is almost indestructible machine! miss mine got taken out by a v6 charger who side swiped my best friends wife in the thing putting her into the guard rail on the freeway and it was a total loss but still ran and then was reborn in another civic we got the shell for.

Changed it today, y'all were right that was super easy. No signs of water or dirt. Definitely a good sign, but I'm still probably going to do the breather relocation (with a 2-way as is recommended in here) so I don't have to think about this again.

Ooo, good to know. Thank you! I'll test a few times over the next few weeks to make sure.

Yeah.... I wrecked my original brakes this way, but my dealership was very cool about it and called it a warranty repair. Part of the reason I selected the Fuel Shok rims was the big holes to get a pressure washer in there--right after I escaped the hole I went to a car wash and pressure washed all my suspension parts and brakes. I'll still pop the wheels off sometime soon to double check, though--good call.

Thanks for the input, everybody!
