Confused about diffs and fluids
#1
Shamefully, I've realized I mixed up which fluid goes where, between my auto tranny and front diff. I've gotten totally confused about what is where in this AWD system, the auto transmission dipstick is over on the battery side of the intercooler, yes? The dipstick on the turbo side, is this the front diff, or center diff, or what do i call it?
Can you guys label for me which of these dipsticks is which.
Now im after bloody flushing and refilling my transmission (thats got a bit of 70w90 swimming in it).

Front Diff level stick is on drivers side of Intercooler/engine,near to clutch master cylinder.
*Make sure you it slots fully home after chjecking, otherwise, makes a mess down side of box.
*Oil is very clear -check carefully,you may not see level mark *
Gearbox level stick on passenger side of engine bay,by bellhousing, only check when engine running and in neutral.
*may be different marks on each side of stick, one for cold temp check, other side for hot check - as oil heats up and expands.*
The centre diff is integral in gearbox, so no additional topping up or checking for this.
