Recently changed my gears. Is there any reason for me to change my rear end fluid after a break in period?

Well I just asked my ole lady what her thoughts on rear end lube was. As soon as all the swelling in my face goes down I'll tell her I'm sorry!

In all reality I'm guessing I can leave the original fluid in there?

As long as the oil is clean I wouldn't worry about it.
