CRAP! I've got 5500 miles on her. Time for a change. Any idea how much GM will stab.... oops.... I mean charge for this fluid change?

What Oil change or Differential fluid change ?

The differential. ? Out of town and don't have anywhere to work on it here.

Already changed the motor oil at 1000 miles.

To Jekyll-N-Hyde,I've been following this thread w/ geat interest,trying to pick up some knowledge.I recently went Total synthetic,Engine [ W/ a Mobil one Syn. filter ],Tranny,manual & Rear diff. This was at 4,700 miles.My trusted Friends at the shop I use when I need a lift saved the Diff. fluid because of the looks of it.Grey.We even dropped a magnet in it & to my dismay,came up w/ what I feel to be a lot of metal.Engine & Trans, were clean. You mentioned you sent your oil out for testing.I've had no luck trying to find a lab that does Auto oil testing.Could you tell me who you use.If it's top-secret,please e-mail me at [email protected] . I would spend a fair amount of $$ to get a heads up,as the dealer told me they really won't do anything till it's broke. I'd appreciate your help. keith . Like Tradosaurus say's, "Drive it like you stole it " !!!!

Next,To "Wraith SS" ,What Royal Purple Lubriacant are you talking about ? Is it akso for the Rear Diff [ I know'Please save the smarty pants answers about not having a Front diff, tisk,tisk !!!]. I am new to this generation of Camaro's & honestly don't know if I have a limited slip Diff. I assume I do [ by virtue of having an controlloable "Traction control". Thanks all. USMC52

Yes, It is rear diff lube. It comes in 2 weights. Your the lighter one. The ATF is for trans and transfer cases if you have 4wd. Dont know what " smarty pants " thing about a front diff your talking about.. Either way if you have an open diff or a limited slip the fluid has the proper stuff for either app. And traction control is not always the same as limited slips.. Some but far from all. Hope this helps..

Semper Fi brother.. :thumbsup:

changed diff fluid today

I got a 2012 camaro 2ss auto and changed fluid and friction modifier (gm and Delco stuff grape scented) and used about 3 ounces of the friction modifier. Did I do right or should 8 have used the entire 4 oz bottle...so far all seems good. Magnetic plugs were covered in shavings.
