Diff/rear axle fluid change

Best I can find the A10 ZLE requires A10 fluid change every 15 hours of track time... after break in.

Diff / rear axle fluid change at 45k miles for severe duty.

Seems excessive to me when the Elsd is such a big part of active handling.

I plan to change diff fluid at the same time as A10 fluid.... every 15 track hours.

Did I miss anything ? Other opinions welcome !

Thanks,
Bill

Diff fluid is relatively cheap and easy to change... I changed my 2SS Diff at 500 miles and 1500 miles (same time I did the oil) and I don't track my car (but do occasionally drive "spiritedly"), seemed like super cheap insurance to me... There was a fair amount of junk on the plug at 500 miles, 1500 wasn't too bad...

Swift016, change the diff fluid at 24 track hours. it's in the performance guide

the first change at 500mi looked the worst, it's still black but not as much on the magnets on subsequent changes
