Rear end problems?

Rear end problems?
Just took my 07 GT500 in for an oil change and they were saying the fluid in the rear end is low. The tech pulled the plug and said there was metal shavings and I couldnt tell for sure, but I would say there could have been metal specs.
Car has 8900 miles on it and of those a small amount are of course hard driving but no nearly all of it. He said that he could feel fluid in the rear end and I thought that was fine since that fill plug is tiny if you can feel fluid...it's gotta be fine.
What do you guys think? Break in explain the shavings and being able to feel fluid is fine? Car is under warranty so Im not worried but if ya'll tell me to be then I will.

According to the Mustang shop manual, the 8.8" differential requires 3.17 pints of fluid and the level should be 1" to 1.125" below the bottom of the fill hole. This assumes you have the OEM differential cover.

No problem. I'm looking forward to hearing what they tell you. (my 8.8 acts a little sketchy sometimes) Make sure you follow up here.

Before I step in, please touch base with your Service Manager regarding the rear end. They’ll be able to let you know if work or replacement is needed and whether there is coverage available (warranty, recall, etc.).
I’m happy to take a look if you still have questions.
