I just did mine in the 24,000KM service (15Kmiles). Although, the manual said to change it at 12,000KM for severe condition owners. Upon inquiring the dealer about it, I was told that unless you do alot of offroading, you don't need to.

Just so I have the terminology right, is the ATF fluid and the rear differential fluid the samething? Also, is the VTM-4 and the rear differential the samething? Thanks.

RipRock: ATF is the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms...

No, in this context, ATF is the automatic transmission fluid, which is different from the RDF rear differential fluid...
