Changed the differential fluid at 82,000 miles. I've only had the JKU for about 10,000 miles.
Front - Milkshake and likely water contaminated. Looks like royal purple gear oil was used. Replaced with RP gear oil.
Rear - Mostly clear - looks like it was changed recently. Looks like royal purple gear oil was used. Replaced with RP gear oil.
But I found these large pieces stuck to the drain plug magnet.
There's no whine or groan from the differential on turns. I cleaned up the pieces more and they're gold in color (overheat?). Should I remove the cover and look for damage? Or should I assume I'm ok since there's no noise from the diff?
