I try and do mine every 12-15k no matter what. It's cheap insurance.
This question is to those who have years of experience actually using their Jeep for what it is for. How often do you change gear/axle oil? I have just under 10K on JLUR and was considering doing it now. I have off-roaded probably about 12 days in total since I bought it in December. All of this off-roading including rock crawling and steep rocky inclines.

I end up doing a number of water crossing a year, so just as a pro cautionary measure, I change it after a long wet run like Drummond.

I go every 15k or after any trips that involve water crossings.

Good info, what is the recommended oil and weight to use?
I’m running Royal Purple 75W-90.

75-140 here but I’m running 5.13’s. Just taking a guess you’re running stock gearing so whatever the manual recommends for you. Likely 75-90.

I changed mine at 9k miles or so, to 75-140 in rear and 75-90 in front. I was stock rims and tires then, but I've always put 75-140 in my previous trucks and since I routinely hit 90 on highway, so likely a good fit. Since moving to 37's, I most definitely will stay with 75-140.
