Why is it so expensive to get my Diff oil changed?

I appreciate the input. I will certainly be doing this myself. I spend enough money on the Jeep as it is

Karls10JK: I appreciate the offer to use your garage. If I'm ever down to visit family in VA beach or heading down to OBX and need to wrench a bit, I'll hit you up. I'll bring the pizza and beer

service needs to be done with manufacturer parts and warrantied for 6 months or 3000 miles or at a Carmax service center. Not word for word, but I've read over that document. I love to work on the Jeep. I try and do as much as I can

Thats really high, for around $300 at my dealership I got the diffs changed, a tune-up, tire rotation, brake inspection, new air filter, all fluids checked and replaced/refilled as necessary and a few other things I dont even remember.

its my understanding about every 15000 miles...unless you submerge the diffs in water or mud for prolonged periods of time. I could be wrong though
