Default Advice on m factory diff oil

Recently bought a m factory diff,i do the occasional track day and have one on monday the 4th at croft, the problem i am having is that i have over heated the diff a few times,changed the oil and then done the same again,and this is just after a say 5 laps of the track,this is no good to me, i need something which is going to last longer, ive thought about a diff cooler,but id like to try a different oul first

What do you reccommend/ used before?

I presume you've got the plate diff rather than the ring & pinion set?

There aren't many people in the UK with plate diffs and fewer still tracking one so you will probably get more response on the Racing & Competition bit of the forum. How do you know you overheated it? What were the symptoms?

Sorry for the delay on reading this,i opted to try the rtf torco fluid,helped a little although i believe some sort of cooling method would be better suited to it after testing it at croft this weekend,ive read all of the puddymod threads in depth but dont thinkni could afford to have one shipped across
