Search for the results of the differential plugs from those that have replaced theirs, it doesn't look good

So basically you're speculating.
Just FYI my stock diff plug had "excessive" amounts of shavings when I drained it at 10k.
The same amount was on my drain plug at 20k.
The same amount was on my drain plug of my OS Giken diff at 5k.
I only change it more often because of excessive track use. If I was driving it normally I'd probably change it at a 30k or more interval.
I'm not going to freak out over this. I also sent in my oil for UOA analysis, will be basing my opinion on fact. You should too.
