Another dif/transfer oil question

Hello, before i write my question(s) i just want to say thank you for all the contributions on this news forum, i use it alot. Here are my two questions:

Question 1:
I had a misunderstanding of the dif and transfer case service intervals and have now done 95000 kilometers (60k miles) on the original fluid (no towing or off road). I get a grinding noise when turning left, have i damaged the dif/transfer by not doing the fluid change on time? Figured i should do the fluid anyway before i start looking into wheel bearings for the noise.

Question 2:
I am having a hard time finding the correct fluid, Toyota dealer wants way too much money for their special dif/transfer fluids. Locally i can only find Royal Purple Max Gear SAE 75W-90, i see a number of your run that in your dif's but can i also use this in the transfer case?

My aim is to not have to take my truck back to the dealer for any maintenance or repair. So far, i do my own oil changes, front / rear drive shaft grease. I also used this group to fix one of the second row seats not folding down.

Its a 2016 Limited 4Runner with 95000 kilometers on the clock.

Also, anyone in the Brampton, Mississauga or Caledon in Ontario area have the similar truck and want to meet up?

Thanks in advance for all your replies.

Question 1: I think that's a wheel bearing issue. if you were having transfer case or diff issues you would likely have issues going into 4wd amongst others. are you experiencing that at all

Question 2: take a look at this video. it might help
How to change Transfer Case and Differential Fluid on Toyota and Lexus - YouTube

I've always used the Toyota oil and while it's expensive I've never had issues after 160k miles so I stick with it

I used Redline 75w85 in transfer case. Seems to be fine. I have their 75w90 in front and rear diff.
