LSD Need oil change?

I have owned my ITR for 105k now. It has been both my Autox and dd car.

I have got all the schedule maintainence done on the car per factory instruction, and just started to wonder about the LSD as I don't remember my dealership ever replace oil in it.

Do I need oil change on that? if so, how often?

The LSD is part of the whole tranny and not a separate compartment that needs it's own oil change. When the tranny oil is changed, you're doing the LSD too.

Only when you change to an aftermarket clutch type diff will you need "special" friction modifier type of trans fluid.
