Axle Fluid Change

[jp1]

Ok...very, very dumb question...so when the owner's manual says "Drain and refill the front and rear axle fluid" this is the same darn thing as changing the differential fluids, right?

Sorry for the dumb question...it's Friday and my mind is mush. *hangs head in shame*

No need to hang your head. We've all been there at some point. Yes they are the same thing just worded differently.

Yes. The diff fluid runs down the length of the axles and lubricates the rear wheel bearings.
