6t Lsd Oil Change

[XR06T]

your right, except it says change every 7500km if your 'operating the vehicle at frequent or prolonged high speeds'. does this mean 100kph you rekon? it is noted in the severe/unusual conditions section.

24 months and 60k otherwise.

what does everyone think? my car goes 100kph pretty much every time I get in it..

Mal Woods recommends changing the diff oil every 10 000kms if I remember correctly. that's what I've been doing.

I work part way bush so my car up until now (started using an old car to go to and from work) had done about 2 hours of driving at about 100km/h constantly 5 days a week, I figured that was prolonged high speeds. I will just do 10,000km's like mal woods says

Better to be safe than sorry I guess, but I am pretty sure that 100kph is not considred high speed mate!

If you were doing lots of track days and/or drag meets or even towing a caravan then your car might fall into the severe usage category. Not for a cruise up the highway at the speed limit though.

Good/cheap insurance to change it more frequently rather than neglect it though.

FWIW I changed my diff oil yesterday at 15000klm with the recommendede Castrol SAF-XA synthetic diff oil. The drained oil still looked pretty good. A little dark but otheriwse fine.
