Just go ahead & replace the diff with one from a junkyard. It is a lot easier than changing the fluid.

Seriously, if the only thing wrong is that you don't know if/when the fluid has been changed, go ahead and change it. The myth that changing old fluid causes problems doesn't consider that the thing is old and may have problems because it is old, not from new fluid.

It is similar to claiming "since I've started going to the doctor, I'm getting sick a lot." Of course it has nothing to do with getting old & fat or not having done any exercise (maintenance) in 30 years
