Anyone know if you can replace the front diff oil without removing the stiffener plate?



And can anyone recommend a reasonably priced transfer case fluid?
Nope, you cannot change the front diff oil without removing the reinforcement plate.

If your car is pre-facelift and does not have xDrive (NV125 transfer case) I'm pretty sure the fluid is Dexron III ATF - any good synthetic Dexron III ATF should be fine.

If it is a facelift and has xDrive (ATC500 transfer case) then you need the OEM Power Divider Fluid - DTF 1 and you need to reset the oil wear adaptations via the VTG module after changing the fluid.
