I just purchased the fluids and will be doing this soon. I'll go to my friend's place and use his ramps, and I am interested to take a look at this for myself. I have jacked up my car a few times (~3) using the rear differential because the service manual says that is an acceptable jack point. I always immediately put the car on jack stands, of course.

I am glad to hear this. Anyone still think there could be a correlation?
