    You're welcome!

    IIRC, LSD additive was required through the 2008 MY; not required for 2009 and newer.

    YMMV, but I'd guess you need something similar to what my 2013 AC TRD OR 4x4 4.0 V6 requires...

    Nah, it's not like auto trans flushes. You can change that diff oil. Takes 20 mins from start to finish. Honestly probably the easiest of them all to change.
