I use the Costal GL4 from NAPA and change it every 2 race weekends in the TR=
3. This is a welded diff so not as much heat as an open diff or one of those=
 fancy limited slips. Works great and about $30/gal.=20

I tried using this in the WRL endurance TR6 last month. In hour 6, we boiled=
 the fluid right out of the diff and melted the poly mounts. This was a stoc=
k open diff. Most of the endurance racers I spoke to said that they use full=
 synthetic in their endurance diffs due to the prolonged heat.=20

I will continue using Costal in the 3, but will only use full synthetic from=
 now on for endurance events.  We lost about 3 of seat time due to that fail=
ure. Well worth the extra cost of synthetic. Not to mention all those bearin=
gs and damn side seals that have to be replaced now. What a pain. =20
