The 10,000 km slot nobody skips: get the diff and transfer case oil looked at after this monsoon

My LX's odo is creeping toward its next service slot, and this is the one visit I refuse to push by a month, because whatever the monsoon pushed into the axles is still sitting in there quietly.
The interval on the Thar is 10,000 km or six months, whichever lands first, and Spinny's running cost breakdown works out five years of scheduled servicing at around ₹17,557 for the diesel manual. For a 4x4 this size, I think that is a fair deal.
The part I actually fuss over is not engine oil. It is making the workshop open up and look at the differential and transfer case oil after a season of water crossings, because milky oil in there never announces itself from the driver's seat. Brake pads too. Slush eats pads faster than kilometres do.
With the high passes already shut, dry-season trails are what's left. Tell me what your last service actually flagged on the driveline.

Does Mahindra publish an official wading depth number anywhere? Curious how much margin we actually have before water starts finding its way into those seals during a crossing.
