Default Avalanche parts that need to be oiled out of the box???

Which parts needs to be oiled on a regular basis. does the cener diff on the Avalanche need to be oiled before first use and the front and rear diffs need to be oiled as well. I know this is a newbie question but i dont want to kill the truck my first time out.

no, you can change the diff oil but you dont need to add any.

what about the center diff gears? do those have to be oiled at all??? Those gears are just exposed there is no gear box around them. so easy access but seems like it would just cause a mess of oil all over the truck if these are oiled.

no, no oil, you put oil in the differential, not on the spur gear.
