Stumbled upon this yesterday.. found it quite informative. Especially the part about the shape of diff covers being integral in how the diffs are lubed.

His information is spot on. Having worked at Dana for the last 11 years, we test diff covers and lube flow all the time. Smooth fluid movement is key to proper lubrication. I'm going to look at the rest of his videos as there are a lot of young engineers I work with that could benefit from another point of view.
