With only a 40* drop from this test means on the track the diff fluid might still reach 260*. I was hoping to go no more than 240* so the diff fluid wouldn't start to sheer off and hopefully the OEM VLSD could still do its job by keeping its temp within a good operating temp. I guess only time will tell now what happens. 4 months of winter to go!
At higher fluid:air temp differentials, heat transfer is greater and you will get rid of heat faster (assuming the cooler area and air flow is enough to get rid of the extra heat). Ie, you may be in better shape than you think.
