DIY: 2006 BMW X5 3.0i: Front/Rear Diff, MT, Transfer Case Fluids

The other said that the transfer case uses fluid from the transmission (manual), so they have to flush the transmission as well. I was only planning on doing the front/rear differentials and the transfer case, so I'm a bit confused now. I think I will trust my independent mechanic and buy the fluids and have him change them. Any suggestions? I'm in Alexandria Virginia by the way

Do you want to do it yourself? Or have a shop do it for you?
