Looked in FAQ and could only find front and rear amount needed.

Having 90k done tomorrow and dealer said they'd use M1 if I provide it.
 
It's about 1.5 quarts. Give em two bottles. And also why not change it yourself? Takes only about 30 minutes, even doing it your first time.
 
For the transfer case it's two 24mm bolts. Look through the FAQ for the rear differential and it'll give you step by step instructions. You can't miss the bolts, they're MASSIVE. You might wanna get some kind of tube, though, because I wasn't able to fully squeeze a quart bottle into the diff. Not an issue if you're doing all 3 diffs and you buy tons of the stuff, but just a heads up.

If you plan to do your own service work it is well worth it to invest in a good grease gun and an oil transfer pump. The transfer pump can be an inexpensive one from Autozone, Kragen or wherever since you rarely use it. They are usually mad to fit a 1 gallon jug but you can always save one from a major service and dump quart bottles into it. Once you use a pump you'll never go back to trying to squirt oil out of those quart bottles again.
 
The pump I got works with quart bottles also.

When we say center differential oil, is that the same as t-case? I think I only changed front, rear and t-case gear oil. Is that right or did I miss the center?
It is the trans case
