To change or to flush transmission?

I read on here that one gentleman talks about just draining the 4 quarts of fluid in the pan and refilling , over flushing the system.

Is there any special reason you can get away with just a change like this on a pathfinder.

Also going to do a complete fluid change.

How much fluid does the transfer case hold?

And how much for the front and back differentials?

I've never flushed my transmission, only drain and fill, sometimes more than once.

270k kms and counting. I'd vote for drain and fill!

And you pull a large trailer too I see . You have the bypass with a separate aftermarket cooler?, or are you just running with the bypass with the factory cooler.

I just recently replaced my rad and hooked up the oil cooler again.

Prior to that I was running straight bypass with no additional cooling, and with no issues.
