Easiest way to describe it is the 3k oil would be lile driving a limited slip rear diff equipped car through a turn on power and the power would transfer to the Wheel with the least traction (inside) and you would get some tire smoke but thats about all the excitement you'd get.
7k oil would be like driving the same car now equipped with a locker in the rear that transfers power more equally to both tires in the same turn and now your back end is swinging out (over steer) and your lookin like Tanner Foust slidin through the turn all fast & furious style.

Lighter oil, less oversteer.
Thicker oil, more oversteer.

For the front:
Lighter oil, less push (more steering)
Thicker oil, more push (less steering)

Exactly, the lighter it is the more like an open diff it is...The heavier it is the more like a spool it is.

ok, I double checked my diff last night and i am running 7k, not 5k. hopefully I have the time to change the diff fluid at the track on friday.

Does anybody have any extra diff rebuild kits they want to get rid of? I want one for a spare but they are out of stock everywhere.

Looks like amain hobbies has some in stock.

They were out this morning, hmm.

they were just messing with you, lol.

You were seeing things

So was I. With all of this diff oil talk, I saw the word diff in his post and went straight to diff oil mentally, lol.

Diff oil? Whats that? LOL use grease its alot better

yeah, the grease is nice. does not leak like the oil as bad, but can be harder to find.

More expensive on the initial buy but alot cheaper in the long run, I'm up to almost two months and haven't had to redo my diff's yet:

Wait... your supposed to put something in your diffs?

According to WC only if the AE guys do so you might want to ask him first

I would the the force of the gear rotation would throw the grease outward and leave only a thin coat on the gears. If the thin coat wears off, whats is protecting the gears? Does the grease move back into position well?
