What type of differential is fitted to the 2001 Holden Commodore?
The standard differential on this vehicle was a non-LSD (non-limited-slip) unit with a final-drive ratio of 3.08:1. Some owners changed the gears in the diff for more acceleration, although this was more commonly done in V8 models where owners were chasing performance at the expense of a little fuel economy.
If you’re in doubt, you can put the car on a hoist, mark a spot on the driveshaft and then turn the rear wheel a full revolution. By counting the number of times the driveshaft rotates during that process, you’ll know the ratio. In this case, one full rotation of the rear wheel should equal 3.08 rotations of the driveshaft.

Holden Acclaim coolant leak
I wouldn't rush into doing anything, there doesn't appear to be much, if anything wrong with your car. It's not using oil or overheating, so leave it alone until there is a clearer sign that something is wrong. If you are concerned have another mechanic, one that you trust to tell you the truth, check it, as your current mechanic would seem to be trying to get you to spend money you might not need to spend.
