I think he was just pointing out what he found.

Shavings aren't really a problem, it's more the temp the thing operates at.

Whats the problem? Theres always going to be shavings, period.

Difference between shavings and oil sludge...

So yea... about rear diff fluid temps...

Had the same thing happen on my car, but I think my LSD is actually damaged from the heat. It doesn't seem to lock as well as it did before... maybe it's my brain. Or... maybe it's just the fluid that needs to be changed again. Hmm.. that happened 9k miles ago. I'll do it again soon.

I had several diffs replaced due to failure under heat...

I don't see any sludge. Just very fine shavings that feel/look like sludge.

So why would sludge adhere to a magnet?
