So how often should you change the oil in your dif?

In my Mod, I changed it twice every season; unless I needed to change gears. (Not very often)
If I changed gears, I would replace gear oil just because I could. Never had a rearend problem with the race car.
Tow vehicle; Whole different story!

I hear you on the tow vehicle. I remember spewing dif oil in my K series blazer every time I towed a heavy load.

*chuckles* Thats due to the crummy 12 bolt axle, man. Ya need a 14 bolt in there :)
Legends axles run rather cool for a race car axle. Mainly, due to the spool in the back. Without all the spider gears churning the gear oil, the heat buildup is cut in half!
Put in a good, expensive, full syn. gear oil and dont worry about it all season. Over a full season, you realy only put a few hours on all the driveline components. Gear oil wont even begin to brake down for 1000's of miles.

Redline lightweight gear oil work awesome.
