Major Fluids changing questions

Anyone who has done these fluid changes at home, is there any technicality doing them that we need to be aware of?

I know, brake and engine oil change should be nothing special.

What about the Differential which my understanding is, 3 of them (front/rear and drive dynamic, correct?) Is drive dynamic and transfer case the same thing?

How about the coolant? Just flush it?

Transmission: I am thinking of just dropping the pan and changing the filter etc? Any word of caution/wisdom here as this is the most critical fluid change?

Power steering: ?

What fluids do you all recommend for this project?

One shop I called, uses BG additive in all their fluid changes, OK?

Thanks
