Just follow the guidelines Strange gave you.

Any new axle needs about 500 miles of gentle driving to wear in the gears. It's the hardest 500 miles you'll ever drive because all you want to do is smash the throttle. If you just can't behave then don't snap the throttle, gently roll in.

Or you can do what I did and race the first guy you see. I'm not a good example though.

Whatever Strange recommends. See the pattern here?

For my 12 bolt I use Lucas 85W-140 non-synthetic, and 4 ounce of AC Delco limited slip additive (clutch posi).
