Guys, I swear I'm not this slow... but for the life of me, I cannot find the recommended diff/trans fluid maintenance for our 2018 TD6. I feel like I'm pretty good at finding info when it pertains to my cars, but I'm still coming up with nada. Anyone know the recommended mileage/schedule for this? We are coming up on 82K and plan to keep driving for another year(ish).

We had a rear diff swap/repair back around 40K I believe; I need to call the dealership and get that info/mileage.

Diffs and transfer case, I would recommend 50K if not towing.

Did this service over the weekend, thanks for the instructions and great info! Super straightforward and easy job.

Wanted to post on here as I was able to find Genuine LR fluids for the rear electronic diff and twin speed transfer case on eBay at $25 per quart. Here is a link to that eBay users page: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?item...n=nexgenbreaks

Shipping was super quick and everything was packaged nicely.

Do you have the Capability Package, which has a 2-Speed transfer case, or do you only have the one-speed transfer case? The fluids are different.

Not only are the fluids different between the 2-Speed and 1-Speed transfer cases, but they're also different between the electronic locking differential and the open differential. I have the Capability Package with the 2-Speed transfer case, but the Capability Package with rear locker only came with 3rd row seating (one of my chief complaints regarding options). My wife and I didn't need 3rd row seating so my D5 has the open rear differential.
