Most know that this oil exists and have it in their cars BUT i never imagined for a minute that new diffs being supplied now would not have it in
So get it sorted - should be free if diff was under warranty

The same happened to me, the original oil comes with/in the diff and they don't
use the modified oil if not reminded it seems! (approx £90 for the oil)
Thought it was just me having bad luck
Good call Shim
