Does transmission fluid and transfer case fluid share the same reservior?

Hi, I just had my transfer case sealed, I am not sure if they changed the transmission fluid during the work? Thanks.

on my old ES, they do not. though the fluid is the same, they are separate reservoirs. I just changed my transfer case with some royal purple when doing my cv shafts.

The transmission and front differential share the same fluid (ATF). The transfer case (uses Gear Oil) is a separate unit.

ES300's are FWD and don't have transfer cases?
