Yep, it will be synthetic in the morning...Synth 75W90 was on sale for almost the same as dino oil...

Extraction went ok, not awesome, but ok. I had to re-tap the hole again, but it should hold oil when I'm done.

Got my new diff cover from the dealer, raw steel. No paint, nothin'.

It's primed and had 2 coats of paint, waiting to clear it and then good to go for re-assembly.

It's going to be the prettiest thing under the car for sure at the moment!

Like I said, prettiest thing under the car right now.

I'm going to let the silicone setup overnight then re-fill it tomorrow.

I'm doing the tranny filter tomorrow, hopefully none of those bolts are as bad as these were...
