Question

a service technician removed the inspection/fill plug from the differential of a rear - wheel drive vehicle and gear lube started to flow out. technician a says that the technician should quickly replace the plug to prevent any more loss of gear lube. technician b says to catch the fluid and allow the fluid to continue to drain. which technician is correct?

technician a only

technician b only

both technicians a and b

neither technician a nor b

Explanation:

When the inspection/fill plug is removed from the differential and gear lube starts to flow out, the correct procedure is to catch the fluid and let it drain (as Technician B says). This is part of the normal process for servicing the differential (such as during a fluid change). Replacing the plug quickly (as Technician A suggests) would prevent proper draining which is not the correct service procedure.

Answer:

Technician B only
