depending on how you drive it. I would change it no longer than 15k miles if the car was driven very lightly and every other oil change if the car was a daily driver. Mobil 1 synthetic gear oil is the best bang for the buck while the redline race fluid is just that, race stuff that should be replaced frequently.

I'm too lazy to look in my service manual, but do you need a way to "pump" the fluid into the rear diff (and the transmission as well)?
My S is in dire need of fluid replacement, and I don't have access to a lift.

yep, a nice little hand pump makes the job easier.

Re: Changing rear diff fluid? (oNE.five ray)
i change my transmission and differential fluids once a year. it's cheap insurance, why not?
for the diff.: mobil 1 75w90(you only need one bottle, it will probaly only use 3/4 of it)
for the tranny: honda mtf, you only need 2 bottles(probably uses around 1.25-1.5)
just fill up until the fluid starts pouring out of the fill hole.
