    Are rear diff service and trans fluid exchange both easy for a beginner?

    Differentials are easy. Any brand fluid will do. Transfer case is easy, the Toyota fluid is really expensive and a substitute 75W is difficult to find. I don't know if it matters, but the two fluids I found that are compatible are Royal Purple Synchromax and RAVENOL J1C1003 MTF-3 SAE 75W Full...
