    Change to what you wish.

    But boutique lubricant's are not needed. Plenty of high quality OTC lubricants available.

    And your title says 'all fluids'. So don't forget the brake fluid and coolant. And washer. ;)

    So, I will change out the front/rear diffs and transfer case in the coming weeks

    I will order:
    5 quarts of the
    $30 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)
    75W-90 Long Life Synthetic Gear Lube for the front/rear diffs and transfer case

    Actually it comes out to 5.1 total quarts for all 3 cases. I'll just split the 0.1 between all three :D

    Think I have it right
