2000 K Oil right..........

Guys, hello.......
I did STFF.....
but have a question...
In regards to the rear diff oil.......I change it at 2000 miles right? Even if my car doesn not have lsd......
Also, do I need to/have to change the engine oil too for loosened
particles in the engine?
Any input would be great.......

many thanx......

Only the LSD has an oil change. I have never seen documentation for a non- LSD car requiring one.

This confirms my belief

However, will not hurt anything unless you got the oil wrong as well. And even then, not likely.

I also do not think an early engine oil change will do much. The filter I there to get anything harmful. I usually change every 7500 - 8500
