Hmmm. Let me see if I heard this all straight:

1. Skippy Lube puts incorrect/cheap lube in differential case without
performing the service properly, and most likely just did a
'pump-n-dump' with a suction gun.

2. You discover that they used incorrect/cheap lube when it all comes
foaming out the overflow tube.

3. You then take it BACK to Skippy Lube.

4. After hearing the complaint, Skippy Lube Illiterates tell you they will:

a. Not remove the housing cover, clean, inspect and reseal.

b. Replace the incorrect/cheap lube with MORE incorrect/cheap lube.

c. Send you on your way, presumably fixing the problem.

Interesting. I would bet you a week's-pay that they also underfilled it
this time around so that the incorrect/cheap lube won't find its way out
of the overflow so easiliy, fooling you into thinking they suddendly
grew a conscience and were regretful at having performed such deficient
service.

My advice mirror's others here: do it yourself if you want it done
right. It takes about an hour of your time to slide under, disassemble,
clean, seal and fill a differential. I would * NEVER * trust Skippy
Lube morons with any of my equipment.

I watched them take it apart, clean it and put the proper oil in it.
They did use valvoline oil both times. I wont be going back

Oh, they actually popped the cover and cleaned everything up first?
Good deal. I doubt they do this unless you're watching AND complain
when they do a typical pump-n-dump.

True story: my late Father-in-law watched a Skippy Lube outfit change
the oil filter then add one quart of oil to top off. THAT is what they
consider an "Oil Change" around here. I've seen worse. Much worse.
You'd do well to avoid them altogether.
