Depending on how big you are, you can just drive it up on 4 equal sized pieces of wood for an extra 2 inches to squeeze under the car, then it is still level. Thats what I do.

I feel for you guys that don't have access to a lift, it bet doing it on the ground takes twice as long. You def want the car flat when filling though.

there is a chance where it will blow the seals in the diffs. if u got a funnel and hose u can do it on a level ground.

here is the front diff i think it would be the same for the t case because it is right next to each other.

Have you changed your fluids yourself before? There is only three places to drain and fill. In the front its the tcase and tranny. In the rear is the rear diff.

Why not use the oil pump to fill the fluid? It gives you ability to pre-measure what is going in and the car can be filled on a angle (jack).

im new at this so can someone verify this...this is what i am tracking so far?
engine oil=3,000 miles
transmission=15,000 miles
T-case=15,000 miles
front diff=15,000 miles
rear diff=15,000 miles
acd=15,000 miles

These are all the fluids that need to be changed, correct?
Can anybody on here tell me what kind of fluids to use? should i just buy them all from the dealer?
