With cars this old, its better to be safe than sorry. If you do not know if it has been changed recently. Change it. Same goes with the transmission.

The Owner's Manual doesn't have a real recommendation, but you can't hurt anything by doing it every 50K miles if the car sees general street use.

A good brand of a GL-5 rated 80W-90 gear oil and a bottle of the GM positraction additive will work fine.
