Plus I plan on changing it every 50K along with transmission fluid which for me is every 7 years.

Yeah, I was unimpressed with the service I received, I'll leave it at that.
At 40K I did the diffs since I had been through a few deep water crossings and have not moved the breathers. No evidence of water in the fluids and they looked pretty good. 50K will come probably in the spring and I plan to do transfer case then. I will use Toyota fluid or I've read Royal Purple Synchro Max is a suitable alternative.
