huh ? assuming you have an open diff (no lsd), or a properly working lsd, i think, that's ummmm... ridiculous.
if you drive through creeks and/or deep water, you should change it regularly to make sure you don't have any water in there. otherwise, every 24k-48k should be fine. it takes about 2 qts. i think synthetic is a waste of money, but that's just my opinion. easy to do, just don't bend the cover when breaking it loose. if you have a limited slip, LSD, you need the little bottle of friction modifier for the clutches.

the only thing that will help your traction in snow is extra weight in the back, less snow, better tires, working lsd or locker, snow chains, sand, kitty litter, or cinders.
