Default Fluid changes

How often does everyone change their diff fluid? I had it done at 30k along with the Tranny fluid.

I read that every 15k for changing the diff fluid is recommended but I cannot remember if I had mine done at 15k. I'm getting close to 45k on the car and was wondering if I should do it again?

Thanks,

They recommend to change it every 15K, But it wouldn't hurt to change it every 10k or so. Fluids breaks down over time. The longer you leave it in there, the worse it gets. The heat here doesn't help either.

If you don't remember the last time it was done I would change it. It's cheap and takes about 10-15 min.

Thanks for the feedback,

I had it done at just under 30k and now nearing 45k and thinking of doing it again.
