Which Diff?

That may well be - but I know when we have asked them, as well as the former importer of them, both said that only a couple of fluids were deemed "ok" by the factory - one was their own, the other was by Neo and I don't think was even offered in the US. I even had asked about Motul, since we use it alot, and was told "we don't know". Doesn't mean other stuff can't be used, just what they told me. Their new fluid is reasonably priced ($50 for a gallon, I always have it on the shelf, as well as Motul and OS Giken's fluids) it's just the short change intervals with the carbon based diffs that stinks

Yeah, we're planning to change mine pretty much every other track weekend. That plus you really should run a diff cooler with these, which with install can cost just as much or more than the diff itself
