    Did it drain the exact amount, or you basing it on new fluid amount?

    It was based on new fluid amount.

    Rear diff fluid level was pretty much even with the fill plug, motor oil had 5k on it, a bit much but not enough to eat 2qts worth.

    Depends on the vehicle. My Amigo goes through a quart of oil about every 1,000 miles.

    It was actually meant to be sarcasm but yes, I know that oil is a consumable. I normally get 3.5-3.75qts out of my xterra when I do an oil change, and thats once every 5k miles. I always change out the oil filter with a new one and only do oil changes when the oil is hot so it drains easier. My guess is the diff oil was lower than I thought, even though it looked to be at the top of the fill plug. Which really isn't surprising, I haven't changed it since I bought the vehicle new in 04.

    Yup, it smelled wonderful. Especially since I did a lot of river crossings years ago in CO and many times. The oil looked green and smelled like a swamp.
