I had the diff start to bind up with the oem diff fluid after hard track session. Once I put in Redline it never happened again. The diff would still slip more and more throughout a session but at least it didn't bind. Even thought the VLSD is sealed the diff fluid must help in the cooling.

 Also your blinker fluid is definitely the most important maintenance item on your car

If cooling of the VLSD were the only function of the diff fluid then, yeah, it wouldn't make much sense to change it often. Since the diff fluid's main function is to lube the gears and all fluids break down (much faster at higher temps), it's a good idea to change it out every now and then. If you are getting the VLSD/diff that hot on a regular basis, it would be a good idea to change the diff fluid quite often.
A cooler might be a good idea.
