Transfer Case Draining and Filling





1. Remove the drain plug and drain the fluid.
^ Clean and install the drain plug after fluid is drained.
^ Tighten to 24 Nm (18 ft. lbs.)





2. CAUTION: Incorrect fluid fill can result in transfer case failure.

NOTE: Clean the area around the fill plug.

Remove the fill plug and fill the transfer case.
^ The fluid must be just below the fill plug hole. Because you can reach the fluid with a finger does not mean the fluid is at the correct level. Make sure the fluid is level with the filler opening for the correct fluid level.
^ The total transfer case fill capacity is 1.2 liters (2.5 pints).





3. Install the fill plug.
