Is this right? 180 bucks to change rear end fluid!

Posted by Glenn Abu-El-Haj on December 15, 00 at 15:04:01:

The GMC dealer is saying that it's gonna cost 180 to change out the diff fluid on a 1999 Sub with the G80. Also mentioned that each pint or quart is 33 bucks times 3 bottles to fill it up, plus labor. Also mentioned that they all changed over to a synthetic formula as well. Does any of this make sense? I had it done at the first oil change and I don't remember paying that much for this service. I'm ready to have it done again (at 13,000 miles now) and now they are pulling this. Does this sound about right?

Thanks!

Glenn
