The manual says to change the engine oil and filter, front and rear diff fluid, gearbox fluid, and adjust the valves at 10 hours or 200 miles. I'm at 17 hours and 300 miles, so I'm doing mine now.
From what I've read, dealers usually charge $500 for this. I spent $100 on fluids and oil filter.
I only did the diff's today, and the oil in both were quite dirty! The front diff has a plug on the bottom that I used a 3/16 Allen wrench. The fill plug took a T40. The rear took a T30 for the drain, and a T40 for the filler. The front drain might have been a Tsomething. I tried every standard and metric Allen I had, and none fit.
I put 17oz in the front, and 14oz in the rear per the manual. It didn't run out of the filler, but I stuck a Allen in there and it was close to the top.
AGAIN, THE DIFF OIL WAS VERY DIRTY.
