As above,
I and others change gear oil too on a regular basis, it's not a service item, as gear oil is a "lifetime" oil, but wear/bits of metal can cause breakages, I change mine each year,
Also when checking rear brakes, check handbrake cables,
Common to seize up solid.
If you can, use Selina (fiats recommended) oil, it is bloody good stuff, and outlasts service intervals.
If not, make sure the spec is same or higher,
