It's not difficult, but for someone who might be a bit wary to change their oil, they're not likely to want to take on something more involved like the rear diff (where things need to be unbolted/removed for proper access).

no do not change your own diff fluid unless you want to chance your rear end blowing up ..changing engine oil is fine because they've made it so even a dog can do it on any car these days but the diff is another story and if you don't fill it correctly it will stop working
and you change oil every 25,000 KM or once a year

+1 on both of the above... especially if you mostly drive short trips with the car. The only way I'd feel comfortable going the full OCI distance is if you don't track the car, your engine is healthy and your daily commute is 50 km each way of highway driving.
