Overall I think it's within the limits of the fluid (currently running Torco RTF). I'll probably still take @ATL BRZ advice and switch to Miller Oils for Engine/Tranny/Diff. I'll add it to the never ending list...
Great information, thanks for sharing!

Does the diff cover have a gasket or did you use a tube of something?
Does the diff need to be fully removed to install the new cover?
