I wanted to change the transfer case fluid but my search shows only people changing the transmission fluid and front/rear diffs. Isn't there a transfer case as well here?

There is but it is part of the CVT and from what I can find it shares the fluid with the CVT. They show the T-case in maintenance but no fluid spec or amount. I pulled up the internal breakdown and it confirms that they share fluids.
