just do it ...

I just picked up a 12 X3 28i with 68K on it. I am a PM guy, and at 68K and 12 years old I KNOW its time to do it !!!!
SO.... Ive been wrenchin for 5 decades !!! My T case does NOT have a drain plug. SO... after looking at it, and doing it my opinions are...
1....if you chose NOT to remove the mount, your a knucklehead !!!!!!!
2... it takes what 5 extra minutes !!!!
Absolutely NO need to replace the mount !!!!!!!!!!!!
3... access is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO easy to refill with mount removed !!!!!! I got the OEM fluid , you can use whatever you like.

Some of you all make as they say... a mountain out of a mole hill ....
Get under it, support the T case, remove the mount, drain, fill, reinstall the mount, reinstall splash pan, DONE !!!!!!
No need to reset anything !!!! WRITE down what you did, when you did it, job done !!!! Do it again in another 6o to 70 K !!
So easy !
