Differential Oil

Hey guys, not sure if this is for LSD or not as I only heard it in passing, but is there some kind of oil or differential oil we need to change as part of regular maintenance?

You do need to replace the manual transmission fluid every 60k miles, maybe that's what you are thinking of. Use GM syncromesh for the transmission fluid, it makes the shifting easier.

Thanks, I'm already using GMS for my transmission. I was just reading forum titles real quickly and I guess in the 1G DIY it was more for transmission fluid than oil for an actual differential.
