Is this the correct front/rear diff fluid





With the 6-8 DE events I am doing each season, I am changing the front/rear diff fluid on a more periodic basis.
1. Is this the correct gear fluid to be using.
2. Any thoughts as to how often the fluid should be changed.

1. Yes
2. I would change annually with that many events. At very minimum every other year.

I'd seriously consider changing the tranny/diff lube at the start of the season.

As for the fluid, all I have is the info in the attached PDF.

I've bought from them several times & the product shows up in just a couple of days plus free shipping which is nice.

Also, grainger sells and often time stocks this for the same price.
