I would drain and fill. My dealer did a flush and it's all smooth back there.

every time you do your trans fluid you should do your diff fluid.

Is it a manual or automatic? This can only cause problems in an unmaintained automatic. You can and should still change the fluid on an unmaintained auto but don't flush it.... just a change.

Definitely change your different fluid. That won't do any harm as long as you replace it with compatible new fluid.

Never a bad idea to drill and fill

I wouldn't worry at 102K miles. Just drain/fill


When I did my fluid change the first time at 50K miles, it was nice and clean. When I did it again at 150K miles, it looked even cleaner then.

I pretty much will never do it again
