The reason the fluid looked so gross both times was because it likely has metal flakes/dust mixed into it. The fluid accumulates the metal over time as the parts scrape against each other. The fluid normally would prevent this from taking place as much but it's likely not been changed in a bit for it to accumulate such a sparkly and shiny hue

You shouldn't do that on something this new. Depending on the design, even semi-fluid (NLGI 0 or 00) won't circulate sufficiently to get to the wheel bearings, nor will it cool effectively. Not to mention, changing it out would be a hassle.

That diff is on borrowed time so I doubt they're trying to actually fix it proper, this is a nice holdover until they completely wear it out and do a rebuild video, and it provides a very good premise for a very Aussie car video that'll do great on the algo, since bananas as a slip resistant additive is a funny and ridiculous concept.
