.

If you drive in dusty conditions, replace every 15,000
miles (24,000 km).

If you drive primarily in urban areas that have high
concentrations of soot in the air from industry and from
diesel-powered vehicles, replace every 15,000 miles
(24,000 km).

If you drive regularly in very high temperatures
(over 110°F, 43°C), in very low temperatures
(under

20°F,

29°C), or towing a trailer, replace every

60,000 miles (U.S.)/100,000 km (Canada).

Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle
speeds or trailer towing results in higher level of
mechanical (shear) stress to fluid. This requires
differential fluid changes more frequently than
recommended by the Maintenance Minder. If you
regularly drive your vehicle under these conditions,
have the differential fluid changed at 7,500 miles
(12,000 km), then every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
