I do mine about every 10k miles. I think the owners manual calls for it to be done every 30k miles.

I'm pretty sure that's the stuff that replaced the old LE 607, which is what a lot of people would use in their diff's. LE makes a great diff fluid. Wait for someone else to come in here though, to verify thats the new stuff.

We only sell one fluid. That is for the Diff and ONLY the diff.

That's the stuff.

Exception I'd make is changing out the factory fill early. Mine looked really nasty at 5,000 miles.
