transfer case oil replacement step by step

Hi

Anyone has link to "HOW TO" replace transfer case oil on LR3 (to be specific LR3 2005 - v8 HSE).
It must be done every 75000 miles right

Thanks

Would have taken me longer to go and find the camera than it did to actually do the oil change.

2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Manual Tonga Green

Can anyone tell me if there is a level plug on the transfer box so you can't over fill it? Same with the diffs?

Reason for asking is I dropped the car down for a service the other day and provided the oil and both the special transfer oil bottles came back empty.

Yes, there is. Volume which goes in is about 1,8 Liters I guess to remember.

No overfilling possible. Achim
