Very true... which is why my diff and trans are on a 15k fluid cycle.

That's great, but you can't change the fluid in the part of the diff that actually does the limited slip coupling.

cute, i changed my diff fluid in my VLSD equipped Z prior to every track day with redline 75w90. after the 6th track day, it basically became an open diff after 1 lap. once the viscous fluid that is sealed goes, there's nothing you can do

My VLSD goes dead after about 10 minutes on the track. Hoping to get a new diff in the fall IF I can get the money manager's OK on it.
