Well that's just not true.

"Front and Rear Differential Oil
Inspect or replace at specified intervals.
When performing inspections, check each
component for signs of leakage. If you
discover any leakage, have it repaired by a
qualified technician immediately"
"SERVICE INTERVALS (AS RECOMMENDED BY TOYOTA):
Differentials: 15,000 miles when heavily loaded, or with roof-mounted gear
Transfer case: 30,000 miles when driving dirty or dusty roads"
ATF: 90,000 miles
Toyota recommends that under “standard conditions” fluids be replaced as needed based on levels and color.
