Diff Fluid Screw Up

[frmrgz2rchz_]

I am pretty ignorant when it comes to cars. I checked the tranny
fluid, but I didn't know about the differential until I did some
research after I noticed the whine. I checked the fluid, but I
didn't know what color it was supposed to be. Still though, am I
responsible for their incompetancy?
