post your latest differential fluid change

2017 Nissan Titan 30K. Factory manual recommends 20k changes, which really surprised me.
Rear diff only, going to do the front when I change the oil because I don’t want to remove the plastic skirt again.
Out: factory
In: NAPA synthetic 80w-90

Edit: wrong thread 😭 was so happy I did it myself.
 
shortly after getting my older preowned 2011 fronty SV 6 spd manual 4X4 with about 30 thou on it i changer ALL drivetrain lubes with costly but superior IMO Redline products + after reading about the nissan-dana rear i opted for redline 75-90 real synthetic + dumped the semi-syn xx-140 molasses + mpgs went from 16 to 19 average driving mostly locally + hilly. expensive but worth it IMO
 
2001 Toyota Tundra V8, 205K, 50K OCI maybe?
In and out: almost 4 quarts of M1 75w90. Easy peasy. 39 pound feet on the diff plugs.
Ya know, it seems to have smoothed out the drivetrain somewhat...

Latest diff change was in March of this year. Factory fill out at 67'000 km, and Febi 75w-90 GL5 in, 1.7L front and 2.2L Rear.
Transfercase changed for the 3rd time in August, Castrol 75W-90 GL5 out, and 2.3L Biltema 75w-90 in due to unexpected clutch change. I will replace the oil in all three this coming March with fresh oil to get them all on the same schedule.
