Changing Gear Lube After Break-In Period Can Prolong The Life Of A Differential
One of the most overlooked areas on a vehicle is the differential.  In fact, despite all the "quick oil change" places that seem to be on almost every corner, one major quick lube company reports that less than 3% of their customers have the differential lube changed.
 
Considering the investment that you have in your vehicles, and the fact that 4-wheel drive vehicles have two differentials in addition to a transfer case, you might be interested in the following excerpt from  "Amsoil Action News", April 2006
 
"Most differential wear occurs during the break-in period.  Because differentials are not equipped with filters, break-in metals are suspended in the oil, causing increased wear as the particles mesh betwee the gears.  Hauling heavy loads and towing heavy trailers cause additional stress to the differential during the break-in period and can cause premature differential damage or failure.  Changing the gear lube after the break-in period (about 3,000 miles) is a low-cost maintenance investment that provides a significant payoff, including greatly reduced wear, extended differential gear and bearing life and protection for expensive vehicle investments.  Auto manufacturers recognize the importance of draining abrasive break-in materials...some manufacturers recommend an intial drain interval between 500 and 3000 miles"
