I wonder if there is a good alternate for the unicorn tears? Mine probably needs changed and with 300k I don’t really stress on it having factory fluid in itChanged the oil for my 150K check point.
Also went ahead and did the front diff. (way overdue)
I put the SUV on one ramp on pass side to help drain the fluid. I forgot to open the fill plug first so the tire and backing paper I used underneath me took some nice splashes as it gasped for air.
Then for extra stupidity points, I didn't set it back level. Just ran a funnel hose down to the the fill plug and poured the fluid right in. First biottle went in no issues. Second bottle, not so much. Didn't hear the big puddle that was forming as I was filling and probably lost about a third or more of the Royal Purple gear oil. Yeah, that was fun to clean up. Had to drive it low for about 20 miles to get to another store that still had the same fluid.
Now to locate some unicorn tears for the center diff. Dealer here said $120 a qt and that they had never seen a bottle in their inventory for who knows how long.
