I have not changed it on my 2017 yet. it is only 15k miles now. I usually change it at 30k for the first, then once every 50k. Nowadays, the differential fluid is synthetic, and I don't think you really need change it two often. Changing the transmission fluid is more important at every 50k miles.

Every 30k for both differentials is my recommendation from daily experience of changing them at various mileages. Every 45k for ATF.
