Motul Gear300 75W90 oil change interval?

Hi guys:

I just switched the gear oil to Motul Gear 300 75W90 for my GT86 manual tranny and diff. I would like to ask what is the lifespan in term of oil change interval for this particular oil?

Cheers.

I believe the answer here is: it depends.

If you're just using your car for regular DD duties then you can probably use the factory recommended intervals which i believe is 30k miles.

If you're tracking the car a couple times a year like i am i'll be changing out the fluids every season.

Edit: Recommendation directly from Motul states the following:

RECOMMENDATIONS

Oil change: According to manufacturers' requirements and adjust according to your own use.

In general what the first response is is probable the best.

At our shop we replace all fluids every 30k miles for normal daily driving in the NY/NJ area. We have lots of severe daily driving applications (traffic, stop and go, high speed highways and hot weather in the summer). On tracked cars, 1x at the beginning of the season and once at the end of the season is what we usually will do, depending on how many days it is tracked obviously.
