Default RDA fulid Change and rotor questions

Has anyone changed their rear drive assembly fluid, or power transfer fluid? The book recommends it at 60k. I currently have almost 70k on my caliber and am wondering if its anything important. Also is there anything else I should replace or keep an eye on?

Oh yeah, I have also replaced the rotors (and pads)due to them being warped, well again, less than 6,000 miles, and they are warped. I did replace the oem pads/rotors with oem, because I couldn't find a good selection of aftermarket rotors. Any suggestions?

Thanks
Justin

I have had good luck with AutoZone's Duralast brake parts.

Are you the original owner of the Caliber? If so, it should have a lifetime powertrain warranty. Regardless, I would change the fluid in both if it is recommended. If you have the warranty, you are expected to keep up with the recommended service intervals or they might try to void the warranty if something were to go wrong.
I would change it just to see the condition of the fluid and look for metal that shouldn't be floating around.

Get a pump and hose kit to fill PTO and Rear differential.75-90w gear oil I think.... Fill/drain are in lovely places.
