jaeevox,

During every oil change, you should suck all the Power Steering Oil out of the resevoir and refill with new Power Steering Oil

Every year, you should bleed the brake and clutch oil.

Every 30,000 to 50,000 miles, you should have all the drivetrain oils changed. That includes:
- Transmission/Front Differential Oil: Gear Oil
- Transfer Case/Center Differential Oil: LSD Oil
- Rear Differential Oil: LSD Oil
- AYC Oil: Automatic Transmission Fluid (I believe there's a specific bleed procedure for this)

You may also want to check and replace if necessary:
- Spark Plugs
- Fuel Filter (You can't really check this I guess. I would replace every 50,000 miles but some people may say that's unnecessary.)
- Drive Belts

There is no bleed procedure for draining the AYC fluid in the rear diff. There are TWO different stores of ATF fluid. One is in the rear diff and this is just a drain and fill. The other is the fluid that is pressurized and runs via the AYC and ACD solenoids, this is the reservoir in the trunk. This has a bleed procedure but should not be changed in maintenance. The ATF in the rear diff is separate and has its own drain and fill plugs that are clearly labeled on the diff itself. Hopefully that clears up the confusion, it is a common misconception on this site.

Redline MT90/MT85/cocktail for the trans. Otherwise I stick with OEM fluid for the T-case, and rear diff.
Remember the rear diff has two parts to it. One used LSD gear oil and the other uses Diamond ATF. Just drain and fill both. No special bleed procedures for those.
