Greetings folks. Curious of folk's take on diff oil early change for its first change on a new vehicle. I always do an engine oil change around the first 800-1000 miles for good measure. Cheap and easy to do.
Now I'm thinking about the diffs, especially the rear. Seems some folks have had to have their rear diffs replaced under warranty. Looking to do anything to prevent issues. I know diffs have a magnet plug on them usually to collect any wear particles, especially after new. My logic is maybe the magnets in use aren't strong enough or reach capacity too quickly during the first miles when new that can cause problems.
What are folks opinions? For those who have changed diff oil after thousands of miles with a new vehicle, how bad was the magnet collected material?
