Well, it has 2 drain plugs and 1 filler plug.

Here's a great close-up of the differential. I only see one filler and one drain.

Why would you have two of each unless there are two separate cavities that house the fluid separatel?
In other words, if you only use one of each, will you be able to do a full drain and refill?

How frequently (how many miles) do you guys change your fluid?
What fluid do you use?

It takes Honda ATF-Z1 fluid. Same as what we using in our transmission.
