M6 Transmission and Rear end Fluid Change Interval

How many track days are you doing before you change your Transmission and Rear end fluid?

IIRC, the manual stated 10 hours of track time. So, if I run with my friends group, 2 track days. Last November I did 160 minutes of track time only because I couldn't handle any more. There were 14 of us for the day at Willow Springs on the big track. No run groups, just one 45 minute break for track workers lunch.

This PDF indicates the change interval is for Automatic transmissions not M6.

Per the 2018 owner's manual page 199:

Manual Transmission Fluid:
Manual transmission fluid should be
changed after every 15 hours of
track usage.
Rear Axle Fluid:
Axles must have 2 400 km
(1,500 mi) before being used in
track driving.
The rear axle fluid temperatures
may be higher than when driving in
severe conditions. Drain and refill
with new fluid after the first racing or
competitive driving event, and then
after every 24 hours of racing or
competitive driving.

2022 Owners manual, pg 186, says the exact same thing. Consistency!
