No, definatley not......if you are concerned then drain the oil and fill with a good quality synthetic 90 grade hypoid. There is a maintenance guide describing how to.

first of all sorry for that stupid question but is it necessary to change diff oil in fix intervals ?

opel service mechanics tell me that if we change it will make noise and oppose to the idea.. Is that true ?

Its not true and i you have an LSD you need to be changing it about every 50K miles in order to ensure teh friction modfiers are in good nick or you will get thumping from it when slow cornering.

As for noise following a change, god knows where they get that from, fresh oil can only be a good thing!
