Benefits and timing of gear/diff oil change?
I had my gear/diff oil changed at around 40,000 miles. I'm at around 80,000 miles now. Should I have it changed again soon?
I see the normal maintainence schedule says do it every 60,000 miles, the other schedule says every 30,000 miles... but I also know the people here often know better than the "official" recommendations![Wink](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Are there any noticeable advantages to changing it? Does it lessen that "rallycar" whine any?
I have no complaints otherwise, no problems shifting or anything. But I also don't want to be hurting anything by waiting too long

The frequency of rear diff oil change depends on how the car is used. Lots of turns/stop and go traffic means more stress on the diff, which require more frequent changes.
You can't hurt it by changing more often than not.
