on the 530i, how often is the rear diff fluid change and is it covered for free?

on the 530i, how often is the rear diff fluid change and is it covered for free?(during the first 3year/36000mile free maintenance)

was just wondering about that this afternoon... it was sunny and relatively warm, so I was changing the rear diff fluid in my other car. have not done it in over a year and half.

Not covered under maintenance plan as it’s not due until like 60k miles minimum, if there’s even a documented service interval for it.

what if I only drive 5000 miles per year? does that mean I won't have to change it until 10+ years later? or is there a maximum time internal?

Thanks!
