Post Differential fluid change

I have not changed the fluid on the differential on my gs4.
Has anyone done it, how hard is it and what fluid should I put in it.

I like the Sears Craftsman 10mm 3/8 inch drive socket .. Part Number GK 42679. About $5...
With a extension and breaker bar, this tool mix fits and works much better than the 10mm Allen wrench alone..

Just did it last weekend. Great instructions can be found here:

Make sure you loosen the fill hole first. You don't want to get stuck with getting everything out of the drain hole and find you can't open the fill hole. Also, like many who have done this, I used Mobil1 75W-90, but there are many other alternatives. Good luck
