It shouldn't need to be worn in. If you want drive it with the hubs locked in on your way to work. That will get it to ratchet and get the oil to flow through it. Just take it easy as it will change the way the car handles. Do this then swap the oil.

Either that or just leave it and swap the oil when ya get back from the trip.

Oil change is just to make sure there is no foreign matter floating around in the diff.

My front lockers a Spartan.
It definately works smoother now, than when it first got fitted.
I lock front hubs once a month, keeps the system lubricated.

Doing a freeway run is kind of pointless. As you are mostly going straight. Be great for cooking cv grease though.

You'd be better off doing laps at the local shopping centre carpark.

The clicking is the lockright ratcheting when it has high traction. Its all good.
