Drain plug is at the bottom, filler bung is on the left side about halfway up. The bungs are designed for a 10mm square drive, but you may get away with a 3/8 ratchet.

EPX 80W90 contains Sulphur and Phosphorus which can attack bronze components.
Definitely not the recommended oil for Sierra transfer case.

Use VMX-M 75W-85....

I wouldn't...

Castrol ONLY recommend VMX-M for Suzuki transfers.... If EPX was OK I'm sure they'd list it too.
