Hello, I recently got a 2008 Jeep Patriot 4wd. The previous owner never changed the front or rear differential fluid. It’s at about 112,000 miles.

Should I change it at this point?

    Yes. They’re just gears and the fluid degrades with time and heat. (the front differential is actually in the transmission, and you should change its fluid too )
