I think there is no difference in the meaning. They are both in common usage. I think I perhaps use 'for instance' a little more than 'for example. I see no difference in formality.

Yes, I think "for instance" is more formal and is not used in the spoken language.

they have the same meaning, but as mike1988 said "for instance" is more formal...
& formal, means written or official usage of language- opposite of informal that is of the spoken language or between intimate people.
