If you're near the 60K maintenance mark, I would go ahead & change it - mine was pretty dark, as with most others if you search around on here.
I purchased a small hand pump from Harbor Freight to do it - made it easier for me.

AWD, 4WD, RWD, FWD...... I would change them. I changed my 4WD GX470 and RWD IS350.
