Default differential oil change?

I have a 2010 manual transmission with 21k miles on the car. Do I need a differential oil change? Can I do it my self? Which oil should I buy? I read that Red Line 75W90 GL-5 57904 differential fluid is good?

probably not, but it wont hurt to do it. i dont plan on doing mine until my car hits 30k. mine's a 09 with 14K miles....so will probably take another 4-5yrs. lol

i did my G's diff oil change last year at 31k or 32k miles. the oil was fairly clean still. so it's really up to you. and yes, it's very easy to do. just need a 10mm hex socket, ratchet, and a $5 handpump. 2 new crush washers and the oil of your choice.
