After 4-5 runs we could tell when the oil was getting low as the would start to over rotate in the corners and become very unpredictable. Both my mate and I now run the ball diff which is far superior and manageable, just don't let it slip and ensure you don't over tighten.

Same with me. Filled my diff on Wednesday with fresh associated 7k oil and by Friday night it was empty leaving just s thick goop of burnt black oil which smells revolting.
Good job it's only 6 screws to get the diff out!
