You will need: a 12 mm Allen key, a syringe for filling transmission units, and a container for used oil.

It is more convenient to perform this operation on an inspection pit or on a lift.

It is recommended to drain the oil immediately after the trip, while the transfer case has not cooled down and the oil has good fluidity.
