One friend of mine asked me to change the oil of the differential of her car. Her car is listed above with a 3.5. Is the oil of the differential of this car the same of the oil of the whole transmission?

Does the oil of the differential should be changed independently from the oil in transmission?

I tried to give you a tip but the system does not let me. Declines my debit card. I have money on it and it is not blocked. I just made several personal payments online with it. I do not know what is going on.
