75k is for diffs/transfer box.
Recommendation for gearbox flush is 50-75k

Do it sooner rather than later. I found the quantity of oil that I emptied was a lot less than I refilled. No leaks just the amounts that were put in on manufacture.

Diifs take one type of oil.
Transfer box another type.
Gearbox another type.

The oil isnt cheap, but its in such small quantities it would be madness to cut corners.
