That brings up a good question. I guess I could read the manual but anyway:
The dealer that services my H2 wanted me to spend $$$$$$$$$at 15,000 miles for the complete 4 wheel drive fluid change. I told him no. He made a note on his computer that I refused it. I then called the dealer I bought it from and he told me that the differentials don't need changed until 50,000 miles. Who is correct??
