Correct. The simplest way to check the rear end is to just reach into the hole with your index finger and feel -- be careful that nothing runs out. If your finger is wet, you should be OK (hold your finger reasonably straight and level, don't bend it down).
If it's dry, just add some additional fluid; you really don't need to change it like you do the oil at the same intervals.

I was laughing before I even opened up this thread. I was going to bypass it but then I just knew what the responses would be like, so I decided I had to read them. I would go with the "anti-seize" recommendation. You don't want anything to be non-removable.
