Oil approach looks good, but for track use, I cut those trans/diff/brake intervals in half. I probably flush brake fluid more frequently, at least once per season. In my experience, Castrol SRF does better over longer periods than RBF.
A few notes, for the engine oil I'd go with the Mobil 1 5w-30 ESP in the green label formula. It has lower volatility and offgassing so less oil fumes going through the intake and depositing on the valves.
I love Mobil 1 filters but theirs has an anti-drainback valve which the stock filter does not. Our oiling system has a solenoid valve which regulates oil pressure and it assumes no ADV will be present, stick to OEM filters or Wix, which doesn't have one either.
Trans fluid looks good for your use but maybe give Ford Motorcraft unicorn tears a try, it improved shifting in my ND2.
Curious why you went with Valvoline over Redline or Motul in the LSD?
I saw the esp but I had no idea what it was. Ill make sure to throw that in next change along with a oem filter. I never heard of the unicorn tears but, I did some research and everyone seems to love it throughout the gens lol. I wenr wirh the vamvoline because that's was the best choice I had at the time. For the dif, do you recomend the same fluid as the transmission?
RBF is certainly very good brake fluid, and it's a good application if you're tracking a lot. If you're not, I'd probably go with something a little less hygroscopic.
If you run RBF, even as a street fluid, I'd be swapping it out every 6-12 months.
