Just an FYI for everyone. FCA recommends inspect front/rear fluid at 20,000 and 60,000. With replacement at 40,000 and 80,000 miles... Personally, I wouldn't replace it just yet (maybe next year at the 4 year mark) unless your beach outings include submerging the axles under water.@78cj7-18lj
Replacing the differential gear oil in the front and rear axles is a recurring maintenance requirement, one that is necessary for the continued health of the driveline.
If it's not yet been done, and your now-3-year-old vehicle has almost 10K on the odometer, you might consider attending to this service, sooner rather than later.
It's an easy job, if you're of a mind to DIY.
if you offroad the jeep you should do it sooner than that. depends on how much you put the jeep through. i have lsd and am on 35s and take it to moderate trails frequently. i finally changed my diff oil at 16k and it was BLACK. going to change it much more frequently now.Just an FYI for everyone.

It's probably inspect and replace if needed. A lot of that should be part of the dealer inspection when they do a oil change, same for the OP's parking brake.I just received this message from the jeep dealership. I had the TSB for the steering box and used a oil change. The jeep has 17k miles on it. Are you serious, replace brake lining?
I normally am sceptical about the dealership, but they may not be wrong here. Fluids do break down over time, so it might not be the biggest overreach to change it.@78cj7-18lj

Not sure why they don’t just say inspect, which is all they would likely be doing. Bad marketing terminology here.I just received this message from the jeep dealership. I had the TSB for the steering box and used a oil change. The jeep has 17k miles on it. Are you serious, replace brake lining?
