There is no set change period for the diff.
Sort of like brake fluid but I would not go the life of a car without changing these simple fluids.
It is subjective but I would say every 30,000 miles is reasonable. Same for brake fluid, antifreeze and ATF.
But hey if you want never change it, nothing says you have to.

I changed all fluids when I bought my FRC. I plan to change all fluids (Oil every 5,000 miles) every two years or 24,000 miles just to see what's going on. I have magnetic plugs in the oil pan, transmission, and differential. Next time I change, I'll see any metal if there's issues. Just changed my oil and the magnetic plug was clean, no metal. Whew! My C5 FRC was used so I didn't know what I'd find. Just a suggestion. IMHO you need to establish a fluid baseline, especially if you bought a used C5.
