At 15,000 miles my gear oil was fairly cloudy both front and rear. You could use the 75w-140 or use a 75w-90 which tends to be cheaper.
Changing it will take less than 30 min and cleaning up will take the most time.
When you do change the oil, I suggest you take the cover off and reseal it. I have the lube locker gasket and no leaks so far. They are reusable and around $15 which IMO is cheap for the peace of mind.
