Service interval is fluid change every 30k miles. I'd go show that to the dealer. Did a bunch of fluid gush out when you pulled the plug? That almost looks

FYI, there is no 'rear diff temp light' nor OEM active cooling system for the rear diff. For $1000 you can install a diff cooler pump and core.

Y? Would burnouts and donuts melt things in your diff. I would think that this car can handle burnouts launches drifts etc without having problems. I'm sure it may cause problems down the road if you dont maintain the diff, but if you change your fluid at proper intervals or sooner and use good fluid I dont think you have much to worry.
