Default Front diff fluid?

Can someone tell me if the front differential shares the same fluid with the auto transmission? Or is that just the ones with a 5speed manual?

I'm thinking about changing the center/rear diff fluid with mobil 1 75w90, but I'm not sure about the front one. Thanks for the help!

automatic transmission uses VW ATF and front/rear use 75w90 synthetic
manual transmission uses 75w90 synthetic for the lot.

Front and center diffs are housed with the transmission. The rear diff is a seperate unit.

Front and center diffs are housed with the transmission.
So does the fluid have to be changed for each of these seperate, or when you get the atf fluid changed it takes care of all three? I changed the oil over the weekend and I didn't see a plug to fill the front and center diffs. The rear one looks like it should be easy enough.
