If it not an LS diff why do you need to change the oil.
There would be no advantage to changing it in a std centre diff, it won't save you fuel or wear and the diff will still last an awfully long time with the original oil in it.

Yeah diff oil only needs doing around 80-100,000 k's. And yes it IS worthwhile doing.

I just bought a Castrol LSD diff oil from Supercheap that says it won't need the additive for the LSD. Is this true? Or should I still put in the additive?
