I just drained the rear differential oil tonight (first oil change since factory fill). I first drove the car for about 1/2 hour to warm the fluid and I then let it drain for over one hour until there was absolutely no more oil dripping down. I subsequently measured the drained diff oil in a graduated container and it measured to be just under 1.3 QTs. The manual recommends 1.5 QT fill. My diff is dry without any leaks. Has anyone else noticed that the rear diff fluid appears to be on the low side from the factory?
I also drained the tranny fluid but unfortunately did not measure it.
