The reason the fluid looked so gross both times was because it likely has metal flakes/dust mixed into it. The fluid accumulates the metal over time as the parts scrape against each other. The fluid normally would prevent this from taking place as much but it's likely not been changed in a bit for it to accumulate such a sparkly and shiny hue
if you do ever want to do this ""properly"", consider semi-fluid grease, we often use it for industrual gearboxes that are leaking oil, because it's more viscous and won't flow as easily
I'm like 90% sure the service manual for certain mack transmissions actually call for drilling taping and installing a grease zirk for quieting noise transmission
You shouldn't do that on something this new. Depending on the design, even semi-fluid (NLGI 0 or 00) won't circulate sufficiently to get to the wheel bearings, nor will it cool effectively. Not to mention, changing it out would be a hassle.
1 of 2 ways theres some kinda chemical that does work and happens to be present in bananas and thus someone tried it or college/uni prank "alright mate it'll be real funny if we shoved some bananas in his diff right mate"
@@pennyhero7873 3/2 "It would be really funny if we tell the students you can fix old diffs with some banana skin. They gonna have to rebuild and cleanout the whole diff."
If you put some new fluid in, with a friction modifier, it'll probably quieten up a good bit. You really should take the water/banana oil out if you want it to last
That diff is on borrowed time so I doubt they're trying to actually fix it proper, this is a nice holdover until they completely wear it out and do a rebuild video, and it provides a very good premise for a very Aussie car video that'll do great on the algo, since bananas as a slip resistant additive is a funny and ridiculous concept.
It blows my mind how some time ago I just cliked on a random video because I saw a Polish Maluch (I'm Polish and this car is my childhood) and now I'm subscribed to an Aussie who yells at cars and music players XD
As someone who recently started working as a Service Writer for a local mechanic shop, this video filled me with deep cringe. But I still hella love it! I just wish you guys would have at least filled it back up with new diff fluid... 80W-140 isn't *that* expensive is it?
Honestly, i'd go to the junker, find the same van but with lower mileage and get a whole rear end after checking for milkshake values. If it's a junker van, then that's about as good as it gets.
That fact that you boys didn't even put in new fluid is amazing. My 78 cutlass has been making a slapping sound from the diff for years now. I already bought another and I'm just waiting for her to completely die before i change it
I love crappy jank fixes like this. My mum and dad once were out on their bikes, and the head gasket blew on her MZ so my dad just fixed it with corn flakes packaging 😂

The fruit pectins in the banana peels act as a gelling agent to thicken the oil and make it cling to the gears better. :)

The fluid normally would prevent this from taking place as much but it's likely not been changed in a bit for it to accumulate such a sparkly and shiny hue

Old Used Car Dealer Tip: You can restore faded plastic trim with transmission fluid.
If you put graphite in the diff it should shut it up as well.
Used engine oil also works for plastic trim
