Clarification needed please...B123 service

I have a B123 service reminder popping up.

oil change, cabin filter, tranny fluid, transfer case fluid, tire rotation.

for the tranny fluid and transfer case, is this a drain and fill, or is it a full flush reminder?

and how much tranny fluid do i need to order?

i can make a DIY if needed aswell.

The transfer unit is a drain and refill. You might be fine with just one quart for the transfer unit, but if it were me, I would have 2 quarts on hand to make sure I had enough. The transmission will need a little under 4 quarts if you are doing a drain and fill. Some like to replace more than that by doing a drain and fill 3 times with driving in between each drain and fill to get 12 quarts of fluid changed out.

I changed the fluids in my transfer case and rear differential last March.
Transfer case: 0.45qt (per 2012 SERVICE manual). I spilled some and still have remnants in the bottle from the 1 qt I purchased.
Rear Differential: 2.67qt (per 2012 SERVICE manual). I had 3 qts on hand and didn't use all from the third qt. You WILL need an oil bottle pump.

I also used all new plug washers.

ATF DW1 - Acura SKU

$6.42 per quart

does the transfer case use the same or does it use the DPSF like the rear diff?

The owners manual gives you all of this info. If you still cant find it download my service manual
