Both are great organizations as you know. Completely understand more time on track. I wanted to do MVP in June, but it doesn't work with my schedule unfortunately.

It should run cooler and it will live better at higher temperatures due to the additive package and slightly higher viscocity.Tommy, do you think your "BG ULTRA-GUARD LS 2015-2016 FORD MUSTANG REAR AXLE LUBE CHANGE KIT" will be enough to save my track day?
That is interesting, thank you Norm!I have a feeling that the bigger problem would be getting diff case heat into the fins, as the gap between the case and the fin structure is not going to be a very good conductor of heat, never mind the dissimilar materials issue (aluminum → air → copper). Even the heat paths through the bolts aren't going to be as efficient as a diff case with the fins integrally cast like they are in some of the 8.8" stick axle diff covers.

I had the exact same experience.This is my first time in a forum, but I had too. I purchased my 2016 GT PP a month a go. I'm a track fanatic with more than 600 laps at Road Atlanta. Waited to hit 1000 miles in the car and finally last weekend had my first track day on this car at Road atlanta with Chin Motorsports. Short story in the warm up section the car felt great and I was very impressed thinking I would do a low 1:40's right way.
Well on my first session first lap posted 1:48, in the second lap in the back straight at 140mph I get " Axle Over temperature, reduce speed" I was very frustrated because I sold my Evo X after having reliability issues a the track due to high powered turbo engine, which is the reason I bought this Mustang to have plenty of without forced induction stuff. I got the code P183E " Differential oil over temperature". My car has is 100% stock no Exhaust no Intake and could not do 2 laps at RA with only 1400 miles. There were 3 others 2015 GT PP at the track and nobody has ever seen that before
I called the dealer and they have not idea so I guess this forum is my only hope.
What about someone making an aluminum diff case?That is interesting, thank you Norm!
So the guaranteed solution is a cooling ventilation radiator system for the diff fluid? This needs a pump I suppose, running 50% more fluid? and we are talking 30-50 lbs perhaps?
EDIT: need to read whole thread sorry
this already exists, comes standard on the autos. i swapped one onto my car. also drops 23lbs over the iron case.What about someone making an aluminum diff case?
That really is the best solution for extended hard running, with either an iron or aluminum diff case. Soldering some sort of fin arrangement on might be possible - supposedly these materials can be soldered, though the difficulty might well outweigh the benefit. Never mind the matter of doing fairly warm work on a casting after it was machined.That is interesting, thank you Norm!

:eyebulge:My diff fluid looked terrible when I drained it after COTA. It also had some metal sludge on the magnetic drain plug. I've spoken to a few other local pp S550 owners who track there car and their results have been generally the same.
The easiest thing for me to do is add a diff cooler. I'm going to start collecting parts.
:amen:I think the whole car needs better cooling. After just a couple of hard laps, my engine oil and coolant are on the outer edge of their range. I'll save that for a cooling thread I'll eventually make.
Am I understanding this correctly?this already exists, comes standard on the autos. i swapped one onto my car. also drops 23lbs over the iron case.
