It would be really interesting to know just what that black residue is from.



I still have my used MTL for testing...
My diff went boom.

Morbid still has his I think...



Why don't you check with Blackstone (or another reputable lab) and see if they can analize your old fluid? It would be interesting to see how much different it is compared to the virgin sample that Terry sent in. You probably don't need the more expensive sulpher content testing, but maybe Blackstone could give you guidance.
