    not sure how my 2015 transfer case compared to the 2023, but it was so clean at 60k, i knew that was the last time i would service it barring unforeseen issues. And, i plowed with that and lived in the rust belt.

    100%! I'll look at the TC again at 90K. The oil looked new. Lesson learned!

    Think I’m going to get on the habit of doing it yearly, bit overkill but the way I see it, cheap insurance. Think my biggest mistake was never changing the oil in diffs and transfer case with, it’s a 2013, and owned since 2016. Probably a big reason why my rear differential went, all the weight, 35” tires and then topped it off with a S/C. :stirthepot:

    :duh:

    Next year’s oil change, definitely replacing the front diffs with the Lexus drain and fill plug.

    Just saw this thread and reminded me to check when it was done. Bought the 2105 V6 4x4 back in January with 185k miles, the Carfax said the F&R diffs oil was changed at 100k miles, nothing listed for the transfer case. Will be doing all 3 next week since I'm almost to 200k miles now. Will probably do the diffs every 30k miles from here on out and the TC at 50k. Amazon has a nice deal on a M1 six pack here~
