Don't forget to use ATF+4. You should put a drain plug in the pan too, before you fill it.

Transfer case is filled from a plug in the back of the case. It has it's own fluid supply.

Not sure about transfer case, but cooler may add an additional quart to capacity (depending on size).

Transfer case is separate, and will require the amount mentioned in that link. And just an FYI, depending on year and options, the tranny can take up to 16 gt's .
