NO, change the t-case oil ATLEAST every 10k. If you drive really hard, i would change it more often than that.

I personally don't agree with 10k. If you drive the car hard I would change the TC oil every 15k, if you're pretty easy on it, then change it out every 30k.

Ok, and for what reason? To save time, money? It costs approx 10 bucks each time, and 15 minutes worth of time.....why not?

You would not be asking this question if you have ever changed your own diff. fluids. All it takes is one took at all the metal shavings on the trash magnet to know that the fluids should be changed regularly.
