When the altenator is failing these lights come on - the sediment light is part of your fuel filter and nothing to do with your diff oil. May be worth getting your altenator checked out as you will end up with a flat battery if it`s failing.

Underneath your fuel filter is a sediment trap which does what it says (catches muck/water) when it gets full the sediment light will come on.
Having said that, as said above ...it also when the alternator is failing, it is a warning of this happening and both the charge & sediment warning lights will start coming on.....
