Drained the front and rear differentials on the GX460 and ran UOA on rear diff only. Toyota/lexus Factory fill 75w85 with 15,833 miles on the GX460 and diff.

Good mix of highway and city driving, with car top carrier use.
Refilled with Motul Gear 300.

Given that it was FF, that's not bad Fe for the first run at 16k miles.
I'd leave the Motul in there for a long time. Maybe run it to 100k and change again. With diffs, the break in is critical. After that, unless you submerge it in a river crossing, they will be find with long OCIs.
 
I may change it again at 30k, b/c transfer case will be due at that time. But, that could be a couple years from now, as I am not putting much mileage on either of my vehicles.
