Fluid - Transfer Case: Service and Repair

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 with the vehicle on flat, level ground.

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.
