For those that have Flushed their rear Diff fluid, what all is necessary to do so, pump, fluid, copper crush washer(?), what else?

I'm planning on doing mine soon and was wondering if anyone that has still has these things left over that I could borrow for a day/2 to accomplish this?

Lastly, what is the redline fluid used? 75w-90 right?

Generally speaking, how often do I need to change out diff fluid and spark plugs out of curiosity?

Diff fluid is dependent upon how hard you drive the car. If you track it regularly... probably every track day, or at least every other.

On the street I'd say every 20-30k is fine. Some people go much, much longer with no issue, but as I said it's dependent on driving conditions.

Spark Plugs... those go a while. First scheduled plug change is 105,000 miles.

For some reason I thought you needed to change out spark plugs more often. That's all I needed to know, thanks.
