RDU Fluid (I know what you’re thinking)

The ATF is for the clutches, you have to drop the RDM to change it.
The gear oil is for the gears. Both are used.
You don't need to change either one.
But, the fill plug for the gear oil has a magnet, so cleaning the metal filings off is a good idea.
Keeping the gear oil topped up is a good idea, my rear axle seal weeps and I have added over 1 quart of gear oil.
The TH has 2 fill plugs, the Latitude only has one on the right side.
Use "Search Community" above and "sanghill" and you should find some of my old posts.
