I think if you drive it normal, then its every 3 years. If you drive it like you stole it always, then you should do it 1x a year as a general rule. You will get a feel for it after changing it once or twice, by seeing how the diff fluid looks when you empty it out.

i'd go with the conservative 10K interval. My S is a little baby though.
