Nah, why change it, does it go bad? Stick your finger in the hole to check the condition.

Are you kidding ME It has been hot and cold multiple times and absorb moisture when cooling off (if I'm remembering my high school chemistry correctly oil, liquid petroleum grease and water heated up will make sulfuric acid when it cools down, not pure acid but minute amounts, correct?) and you think it doesn't go bad

But then the oil is the least of the problem. My 65 Plym still has the original rear and trans fluid, still good.

I’ve been surprised at trans guides that state something is lifetime fill. I saw an old mopar service film that stated a 727 had lifetime fill fluid for normal service. I changed an NP435 one time where it had milkshake coming out. 22,000 mile truck that was 20 years old. I’m sure it was factory fill.
I want my fair share

the go to additive at one time [at least around here] was the GM stuff. some now recommend jeep brand additive. what's the difference ? i don't have a clue. what i do know, however, is that adding a container of the "strange" brand additive cures a sticky lock up converter clutch ! that worked perfectly in my wife's 94 concorde front drive transaxle. i don't know where i heard about that, or who told me, but i couldn't believe how good it worked. just my personal experience in life. your results will vary.

I believe the oil does not wear out very quickly. 90 weight and Mopar additive is what I use. Putting 100K on an axle I would be looking inside of it because usually if it is Dana in a car it has been used well. So both Cuda and Cab are correct in their thinking. If you feel you need to change the oil do it. If I put another rearend in the a car I change the oild because I want to do it once, and take the cover off inspect everything pull axles check flange to flange. I have not check my Dana in my Challenger since the gear change in 1971 but it has only had maybe 600 miles put on it at the race track and I do not hear any noise or feel anything bad in the rear end. Me, I would take it apart look it over make it like new and forget about it for another 75K.
