I guess I didn't state it well in my original post!
What I meant was that I would like the diff to be as clean as REASONABLY POSSIBLE so instead of putting the M-1 in and mixing with the residual dirty dino, it would be cleaner IF I were to put CLEAN dino oil in for just a short period THEN drain it and refill with M-1.
Does this make sense? Thanks (for the serious replies!)
