that would mean $101 labour charge just to drain and put new fluid back in.... haha.... 15 minute job... so yeah $1000 is expected for a 'MAJOR' service... just sounds big so charge big.
lol yeah i was abit gob smacked when he said 115. But i'd rather him do it until i figure out how to do it myself lol.

jack your rear up, right under the diff there's a huge 24mm (can't remember exactly) bolt right in the centre of the diff facing down, undo that and drain it... after drain, bolt it back, then somewhere near the side of the diff there's a 17mm (also can't remember exact) bolt, undo that then use a pump or a 500cc syringe and pump 0.9litre of diff fluid in.
keep pumping until it leaks out (while OFF the jack/ stands)...
DONE. easy. save yourself 100 buks... u only need to buy 1litre of diff which is ~$13-14 per litre
i remember something from years ago. not sure if it was GL5
but yeah most honda dealers will sell you the one from the CRV which i THINK was GL5
i gotten it before from the dealership. took it to hanny's and he said its the wrong fluid and my diff wouldnt make it to the next service with that fluid
again. i THINK it was the GL5 that was the wrong fluid
but then it seems to have AP1 in the reference code
Tom why wouldnt i service it at honda? lol im sure they know what their doing? and ill get the major done when it needs it.. I just needa take it in for them to change my Box fluid and maybe diff fluid.. ( yes im an idiot and i dont know how to change either lol ) I'm doing my filter tomorrow though (oil filter)
i say that man cause honda fuked my mums accord around when she brought it. and there warranty? hahaa what warranty they cover **** all
