If you simply MUST do something, pull it apart at 25K. Not to lube per se, but just to have a look. If the splines look good, lube 'em up, put it back together, and forget about it. If they look bad, trade it in on a S1KRR. Simple.
Based on what has been said about good and bad splines on this forum, what you say makes a lot of sense. If it's bad/mis-aligned/etc. from the factory, additional maintenance isn't going to increase the service life-Thanks.
