Im sort of confused about the diff fluid. I have 4.56 gears and im about to change out the fluid that ramjet put in there for another brand as im almost done with the break in period. i live in so cal so the tem range is usually 55-80 from winter to summer, I always warm up my car before driving it hard or even fast, i have about 5-7 mins of driving under 40mph when leaving my neighborhood, and i think that would be adequate to warm up the diff fluid. Someone mentioned problems with the le607 and that was the fluid i was going to go with but i would like other reccomendations if theres another fluid that suits my needs better than the le607. thanks.

I change my oil every 3K miles due too a lot of short distance driving. At 3K my oil is pretty dirty. Any of you guys experience dirty oil at 3K?

Dirty according to what criteria.....looking at it, or a used oil analysis (UOA)?
All oil will "look" dirty when it is doing its job. Getting a UOA will break down the contents of your oil and tell you if it is doing its job - and if your change intervals are correct or need to be adjusted.

There's no way I'm leaving any oil, no matter what type/brand in my car for 10K mi. That's just ridiculous. Where does all the dirt from 5.1 qts of oil go Into the oil filter?

Is the PacNW too cold for LE607? It ranges from 40-85 degrees.. RARELY is it below 45, though. And the car is garaged if that makes a difference.
