Power steering, whenever you want if at all
Brake fluid with every brake service
*
Like i said opinions will vary, just service at regular intervals your are comfortable with and you should not have any fluid related failures :twocents:
Grease is cheaper than parts....

I had always upgraded fluids to full synthetic, typically Mobil1.
This differential chattered badly with full synth, I had to go back to dino oil and use Toyota friction modifier.
The gearbox was also picky. Stiff and grunchy, especially when cold, until I tried Royal Purple GL4 gear lube. That stuff is amazing.

Rotella Oil twice a year
I do the fuel filter every other oil change, either Baldwin or AFE pro guard.
Transynd and external filter at 90k for the tranny.
Haven't done my Diff or Transfer case yet but ATF in the Transfer case. I have 4 quarts of Mobil 1 75-90 for the Diff sitting in my garage.
I have some Dexcool sitting in my garage waiting for a rainy day as well.
Make sure to keep your front end greased.

That makes absolutely no sense, but whatever.
For the trans, do a complete fluid exchange and use Castrol Trasnsynd. I'm not usually hung up on brands, but back when I had our old Dmax, Allison was doubling the factory warranty on med duty trucks of refilled with Transynd before xxxx miles. That alone has to mean it's the best fluid for the Alli.
No need to use OE brand fluids for anything. Remember the OEs don't make their own fluids. It's rebranded from someone.
