So someone saying that thicker oil has less turn in, I don't aggree with that. Viceversa. If I dont have enough traction, put the 10,000 back in it and it is alot more hooked up and turns less.

The Neg Diff seems good in theory, you should be able to go into the corner harder and still have traction.
Well that is definately not the way that it is "supposed" to work and in my testing it works the way I described (also in many tuning books/guides). However there is always a reverse effect on many tuning options when you go to far however. If you put a stiffer diff in on lower grip conditions it will induce oversteer on and off power which may account for your additional steering.
