changing transfer case fluid 2020+ highlander

[ParadoxRogue404]

just did the transfer case and rear differential fluid change on my 2021 highlander v6 awd. toyota recommends this every 48k km, but i did it around 42k km. if you're in the same boat with a v6, this guide might help you save some cash.

if you've got a hybrid or fwd model, this won't apply.

the job's easy if you've got the right tools, but on the 2020+ highlander, the fill plug for the transfer case is tucked under the engine/transmission, making it tricky to reach. no socket/ratchet can fit, but i found a couple cheap tools to get the job done.
