Default 27k Service question

Had my 36month/27k mille service today.
Just been looking at the list of tasks and noticed that they didnt tick the diff oil change. They havent charged for it, so not trying to rip me off.

Is this an optional task? Doesnt look like it to me. However the car is only on 19700miles and just turned 36months old. Maybe they didnt bother because of the low mileage.

Should I go back and get it done? Or can I leave it until next service where I'll probably have done another 10k miles.

I've got to go back tomorrow anyway as they forgot to stamp the book!!!

It is not optional and is highly recommended.
I've been doing mine every year on my current car.
Potential warranty issue as well if the diff goes!
Go back and just watch they don't fob you off with we did it but forgot to tick the box

They did exactly the same with me.

They reckoned they'd just forgotten.

They forgot to do mine too. "Oh, we'd run out of diff oil on that day"

They did it for free when I pointed out the missing tick.
