well i belive gearbox and diff oils should be changed as often as engine oils. they are only 'bathing' the components and arent strained or cleaned at any point when its being used (unlike engine oil) so it makes sense to clean it more often. Gearbox and diff oil is fairly inexpensive and with the price of the AE86 and other older cars becoming more expensive, it only makes sense to try the hardest to keep it fresh. Also, the use of the mechanical LSD creates lots of fine metal particles (from the clutch plates) and if they are removed frequently they will not attirbute to extra uneeded wear. There will be obviously more particles if the car is being drifted/tracked quite often. put it this way, preserving the condition of $2500 worth of diff gear is worth changing the $50 diff oil every 1.5 months well thats my opinion.
