Transfer Case Draining and Filling

CAUTION: New transfer case lubricant must be installed any time the transfer case has been submerged in water.

NOTE: The transfer case is lubricated for life and is not to be checked unless a leak is suspected or a repair is necessary.

1. Remove the drain plug and drain the transfer case.





2. Apply sealant to the drain plug threads and install the plug.

3. CAUTION: Transfer case failure can result if the correct fill procedures are not followed.

NOTE: The fluid level must be even with the bottom of the filler hole.

Remove the fill plug and fill the transfer case with SAE 75W-140 synthetic gear lubricant.





4. Apply sealant to the fill plug and install the plug.
