Exclamation transfer case fluid change - 4matic

1998 E320 - This is the only fluid I haven't changed, not familiar with how to do it.
It's another "non serviceable" part i guess. Car has 192K miles, & I want to change it. How do I do it and what sort of fluid does it take?

The factory recommendation is a special hypoid gear oil. For E Class 4MATIC the part no. is A001 989 23 03 11 - Transfer Case Fluid.

I don't have a 4MATIC so I'm not sure. Check the usual DIY sites for any service procedures. Or just get under the car and look around.
