1. The rear diff fluid was filthy. I mean really filthy. If you wanna keep this beast 100,000 or more, strongly suggest getting the wear in debris out early.

2. There are things on the front drivetrain that could EASILY be mistakes for the front diff fill port. The correct one is on the passenger side above the right inner cv joint, and comes loose with an 8mm hex. On the drivers side, there is a plug with a 10 mm hex that looks like it's part of the diff. If you remove this plug, green cvt fluid comes out. For an inexperienced mechanic this could be a disaster. Get the shop manual or make sure you smell plugs and fluids
