Changed my diff fluid today. Put in Mobile 1 75W90 GL compatible. Typically, the magnetic drain plug was coated with iron/steel filings just like the other pics. I didn't jack it up just laid on my back and filled first with the bottle then with a large syringe my wife gave me (she's a nurse). I used just over 1.5 quarts. I filled until I saw it run out the fill hole and then let it drain for several minutes, then put the screw back in.
I got new washers for top and bottom plugs.
Fluid was like dark chocolate and markedly darker than what I put in, which was a clear yellow color.
