What are the effects when changing to lighter or heivier viscosity oil in the front diff?
I'm guessing that lighter=more steering?

Heavier = less turn in, more on-power steering. More straight line traction.

Ligther = more turn in, quicker direction change but less steering out of corners.

hey, is it better to keep more traction in the front or the rear? i have seen some set up with heavier diff oil on the front than the rear diff? why dont get it heavier in the rear than the front?

hey how often you should replace diff oil?

Diff oil is not one of those thinghs which need to be checkes very frecuently. If you go for testing for sure they will last the whole weekend. In week en races I set the diffs on friday and leave them until Sunday without any problem. Nevertheless you should always check and maybe replace the o-ring when rebuilding the diff.
