Yea, do it yourself for sure. Get a suction gun from Harbor Freight for $4.95 and Redline (~$40.00) and 20 minutes of your time.

This is really easy to do yourself. Drain bolt is on the bottom. Fill plug is on the back (10mm hex nut maybe?). I don't even jack my car up to do this for the diff, but it makes it a little easier. I do need to jack it up and put it on Rhino ramps for the tranny.
Takes two quarts of synthetic 75w90 and a hand pump.
I use these:
AMSOIL Severe Gear Extreme Pressure Synthetic 75w90

yeah, you got it 10mm hex, if someone doesn't have one and you have a 10mm allen wrench-you can cut a 1 inch portion of the wrench and combined w/ a 10mm socket you've got the bit(just makes it easier then trying to get in there w/ a wrench)
