Fluids question

I have a 2008 4Runner with 84000 miles on it. Do not use it for towing or drive on dirt roads. Been told that the ATF WS transmission fluid is lifetime,so I don't have to change it. What about the Hypoid APl GL5 gear oil for the transfer case, front/rear differential? Is that synthetic? When to change?

No such thing as lifetime fluid. Guy on bitog did uoa on WS after 50k and it wasn't looking good. Some have report converter rumble also.

Nor sure what the climate you are in but here is my schedule:
I live in the hot desert southwest and I play off road often. That put me in the "special use" category. I perform every service as required including the special use applications. Every 30k I get OEM plugs, full synthetic Mobile-1 lubricants throughout.
I just realized my transmission has not been done! This sucks! Don't know why, but I thought the tranny was due at 90 or 100K. Im need to look into this immediately. I hope this thing isn't a sealed unit that has one of those odd dealer only filling methods like my Dodge SRT8.

Toyota ATF-WS is NOT lifetime, its been covered a lot so I'm not going to go into my usual rant about it, replace it around 90k~100k under normal conditions. Toyota doesn't show a specific mileage to replace the diff and transfer case fluids, but we normally recommend it at the 90k "Major Service."
