Sounds like you are in good shape. Hope things work out well. Give an update on your impression after the fluid is changed and if you feel any difference.

The shop that did the mechatronic sleeve gasket before I owned the car refilled it with Redline D6... so I was anxious to get that out.
I am taking it in Wednesday to get the transfer case adaptations reset, as well as a transmission reprogram.
Long 14mm hex key for front differential. There is an oil-line that runs right in front of the fill plug, so a 14mm hex-key socket was too wide.
Shallow 14mm hex key for t-case drain plug (it's right behind the cross-member). This one is ugly because it used to be a bolt with a nut welded at the end (double 14mm hex... one end goes in plug, other end you can use a 14mm boxed end wrench). I had to weld on a wrench because I couldn't slip the boxed end wrench over the end... too close to the crossmember.
