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.
