Default clutch type LSD

For those of you who have a clutch type LSD, how do you maintenance them?

I have a clutch type LSD in the tranny and I change transmission oil after every track event, is it good enough for maintenance? It is getting costy and I am trying to do it every 2 events, or is it better to do it after every event?

FYI: spoon 1.5 way lsd, redline MTL 75w90

THANKS!!

wow! you change it way to often my friend. i change mine very frequently, but it is not needed that often. how many miles/track events do you do a year? i put about 5,000 miles on my car a year, 95% of it racing, and i change it about 3x a year, which is very frequent. changing it more than this is not very cost effective. also, keep abs on the initial torque of the lsd, so you know when to rebuild it.

On a related note, how do you guys feel the transmission performs with the heavier-weight gear oil? Have either of you tried the NS (non-slip) formulations from Redline?

Thanks!
