Has anyone changed their transmission oil? If so, at what mileage?

I told them I was getting some harder shifts as well as a hi pitched gear whining sound from the somewhere in the tranny. They did a service to see if it helped and put it under warranty so no cost. Turns out it is the rear differential which is failing and will be replaced next month.

What kind of mileage for your failing rear diff? Track driven? Thinking about changing my rear & front diff to Redline gear oil. MGH

The Germans keep touting "lifetime fluids", but I interpret that "lifetime" as the short life of the component that fails from lack of fluid changes.
