Post-diff rebuild questions
I recently had my LSD rebuilt and a 4.78 ring and pinion put in. I've driven roughly 130 miles sparingly so far. I've heard you need to replace the oil after a while but I'm still a bit in the dark on what to do now.
How many more miles should I drive smoothly?
What viscosity of oil is recommended? I like to drive this car hard so I'm not sure if 75w90 is too thin.
I am so eager to drive spiritedly I can't stand it!
Thanks,
Appa

Was the actual diff unit rebuilt with new clutch plates, springs etc? In that case I think there is a break in period and you want to drive around in figure 8 pattern for some time and change the oil.
If just the new ring and pinion was swapped in I do not think there is a requirement to break it in.
