I just got my differential fluid changed the other day at Mr. Lube. They said the front and rear are both synthetic.... Is this correct?

Most people on here are talking about the engine oil when they talk about switching over to synthetic.

I agree w/ Viper 359 I thought most everybody here changed out there fluids to synthetic vs. stock.
