So about 3 months ago, i went to canadian tire and did a lot of services as in oil change, transmisiion fluid change, etc etc and ofcourse, differential fluid change.
4 Days ago, the rear tires kept locking as i would turn and make screeching noises. I goto canadian tire and ask them to take a look...the lady came back to me and asked "Sir, have u recently changed ur differential fluid?" and i said that i dont remember....and then she said "maybe the last place u changed ur differential fluid put in the wrong oil and is causing this, but we dont know exactly whats wrong unless we open it up"
So they opened it up and turns out the gears are broken and metal pieces ar everywhere. Apparently, the POSI-CARRIER exploded and the metal pieces when between the gears and broke them.
Keep in mind candian tire had replaced the differential oil about 3 months back. the car has 98,000 kms. My question is, could putting the wrong oil gradually destroy the differential?
