Update..
All done, front diff oil was thick and clean, rear diff was thick and dark. transfer box was very dark, smelt like licorice , auto box was red and clear.
New diff oil seemed a lot thinner and lighter in comparison, not very hard to do, quick test drive shows slightly less jerky from 1st to 2nd, torque converter whirring around 52mph. Not sure if the smoothing thing is instant?
New fill amount was 4.6 liters on auto box, and around 1.5 for each diff. Transfer box took 2 litres.
Will check levels in a week or so.
I used the bottle nozzle for the diff, and a 5 litre pumpsprayer for the boxes. Hylomar blue on threads.

Does it fit the autobox dipstick tube?
I used this Hozelock 5L Garden Sprayer - review, compare prices, buy online
I took off the lance part and fed it into the fill port on the sump. Makes the job easy and you have full control. I filled the gearbox and transfer boxes this way.
