Default 2008 LR2, 160k fluid change.

I recently came into possession of an 08 LR2 with all but 160k on it. I'm looking to switch all the fluids over to AmsOil but have a few questions.

I know that the engine oil as changed routinely with full synthetic, not sure of the brand, but the previous owner said they never had the transmission or differentials serviced. With that many miles on both, it shouldn't hurt to upgrade to AmsOil correct?

The only fluid I won't be able to get is the transfer case..... I called a local dealership and they want $67.22 per quart... I really, really don't want to spend that much for oil. Is there another alternative? Should I just let the current fluid in them be? I've done some searching around for answers to particular question but haven't come up with a solid one.

Any help or input is appreciated. New to Land Rovers and want to make this one last.

I would change the fluid if possible. I've read that its meant to last no more than 10 years. Even if they do say its a lifetime fluid. As for the transfer case fluid, Case: Royal Purple Synchromax or Royal Purple Max ATF I believe will work just fine.
