To answer the dif oils questions:



EFFECTS OF DIFFERENTIAL OIL REPLACEMENTFront

Thinner

• Increases steering into corners (off-power)

• If oil is too thin the steering may become inconsistent, especially it can lose forward traction (and steering) during acceleration out of corners

Thicker

• Increases stability into corners during braking

• Increases steering on-power at corner exit

Center

Thinner

• Front wheels unload more during acceleration

• Decreases on-power steering (reduces oversteer)

• Easier to drive on rough tracks

• If a high-power engine is used you could waste too much power and sometime “cook” the oil in the center differential because it “overloads”

• More off-power steering

Thicker

• More all-wheel drive effect

• Better acceleration

• Increases on-power steering (reduces understeer)

• Better suited on high-bite, smooth tracks

• Car can be more nervous to drive especially if a high power engine is used - you might need to be smooth on the throttle

Rear

Thinner

• Increases cornering traction

• Increases steering into corner

Thicker

• Decreases rear traction while cornering

• Reduces wheelspin
