It’s been a while since I‘ve posted. Last year I finally traded by 2006 RL that I owned for 18 years and 248K miles - great truck!
I have since purchased a dealer loaner 2023 RL, which only had 2300 miles when we bought it 5 months ago. We got a great deal on it also.
My question is this: We just turned 10K miles and we received a B16 maintenance code which is B - Oil Change, 1 - Tire Rotation, and 6 - is for replace rear differential fluid (we have an AWD). Changing RD fluid at 10K miles seems excessive, and I’m assuming the maintenance program is calling for the fluid change because the vehicle is now 2 years old, and the program assumes the vehicle would have more than 10k miles. Would you change the fluid at 10K or wait until mileage is closer to 30K miles, which seems more reasonable?
