Default How often to change differential fluid??

hi, does anyone know when your differential is supposed to be serviced? I have 110,000 on the clock and have never messed with it before... anyone know, and also how much would it cost. thanks.

I change mine every 30k. I'm not sure what the factory recommendations is.

If you run synthetic you can probably go longer

Probably $50 or so at a shop unless you want synthetic oil.
