How often do you change the oil in the transfer case, rear LSD, front diff and auto trans?

auto trans, 100k miles

gear oils, maybe twice as often, but 100k miles won't hurt either, it really depends on how much dirty muddy water crossings driving you do with it

I do my trans once a year, usually diffs every year. Or if I get water in anything, I change it right away. My trans broke around 210k miles though, nice clean good fluid, not a dirty spot on the filter.


I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.

I was also thinking 30k.

Need a Spot
I change all the fluids once a year, coolant, diff and gearbox oil, transfer, brake fluid, steering, it's cheap insurance. I make 20.000 - 25.000 miles a year...
