CRAP....got to thinking, measure the old oil, about the same.....another example of how you can get hosed by the Dealer.....

There is a recall on one of the seals on the diff, likely it's been leaking. It also burns fluid up pretty quick. Did you find any metal in the oil? I got a lot out of the one we drained.
