As cheap as ATF is, it may not hurt to give it a drain and refill at your next oil change. Since ATF is just low weight, high detergent oil it'll do wonders for cleaning out any bits that your original drain missed.
Transfer case fluid
Today before class I decided to check the level of the transfer case fluid. The latter model RRC have a chain driven Borg transfer case which uses a Dextron II ATF, not gear oil like other transfer cases. So when I got the plug out and stuck my finger in it to check the level I smelled and felt what can only be 90wt gear oil. So my bet is the previous owner had the fluid changed at a speedy lube and the monkeys there just put 90wt and called it done. So remember to use ATF! And remind your mechanic to use ATF. So after a fast fluid change and a race to class on time Im hoping all will be well. The fluid was burned pretty bad.

I had EP90 in mine for a couple of years (about 30000 miles) as this was what the Haynes manual said. When I acquired a proper LR service manual, I realised that ATF was required. 50000 miles later on ATF and it's still fine
