No, the diff fluid was not hot. Although, it was about 90F that day. (Amazing how much your hands sweat inside rubber gloves. It was dripping down my arms and I kept thinking I had leak somewhere.)
It's still a 75W oil, so the consistency of thin real maple syrup. And WAY thicker than the typical 0W30 motor oils we use today. As I said, my improvised J tube was probably just too small to easily pull the fluid out. I was just surprised at how difficult it was compared other fluids I usually suck out of the car or small engines.
