Water in the diffs from water coming in the vents when fording creeks. Applies to all makes, and all locales (except during droughts......)
Edit: there isn't a downside to changing the differential fluid and the pre-xdrive fluid earlier, except cost. 30,000 seems early, but what does the service guide say for your model? if you have xdrive, be aware of the fluid monitoring the transfer case is doing and any resets that may be required.
