Thanks for the DIY spearfish - Made it that much easier! I have about 50k on mine and I'm thinking the previous owner must have changed the fluid at some

Thanks for the DIY spearfish - Made it that much easier! I have about 50k on mine and I'm thinking the previous owner must have changed the fluid at some point. The fluid was fairly dark, but still translucent and not like some of the photos I've seen. There was a decent amount of metal on the magnet (I guess it's doing its job). It's good peace of mind to know the fluid is fresh though. I didn't need to jack up the rear - just slid cozily on under the muffler. Arm just got tired from using a manual pump to get new oil in.

Faint Gear oil smell after change?
I just got done doing this, pretty straight forward. However, when accelerating quickly to higher RPMs (5-6k) I smell the distinct gear oil smell in the cabin for a short amount of time.
I checked the diff and it's not leaking, it was slightly damp around the drain plug but not sure if it was from the initial change and I didn't clean up well enough. Anyone else had this experience?
