I did the rear differential oil change this weekend, and it was a piece of cake. The oil color did not look much better than that from the front differential, which tells me that both should be changed every 30K miles at least. Have you changed the transmission oil? That will be the next on my to-do list but I will wait until I hit 50K miles, 10K to go.
