Default Moser 12 bolt fluid change... opinions please

I have about a years worth of racing on my moser 12 bolt and was considering changing the fluid this week. The car is either at the dragstrip every weekend or on the street getting some hard miles. How often does everyone in here change out the rear diff. fluid on a heavily drag raced car? what brand gear oil do you guys reccomend?

I have heard GM recommended every 8,000 miles on the stocker.

Maybe a little less for you.

your not suposed to use synthetic? I was looking on one of our sponsors websites and was considering the royal purple 85w140.... but that is a synthetic oil.

If you got the Eaton posi in that Moser, neither Moser nor Strange recomend syn. fluid. Dino does fine anyway.
