Transfer case

[#25ashley]

Wanting to drain and change Transfer case fluid. Does it take the transdyne,gear oil,motor oil? Going to switch to a synthetic. Leaning towards Mobil 1. Run it in all other vehicles, just believe in it. Give me your thoughts. How much does it hold?

drain then replace plug. remove speed sensor and add 3qts 5w-30 syntetic through that opening. replace sensor.

the stock fluid is ATF I believe dex 3 but most are changing to a 5w-30 oil because of somethign put out a few years ago about the ATF evaporating and since alot of people dont regularly change these fluids or check the levels the T cases were basically running dry and having catastrophic failures. I have had 5w-30 in my T case for a good 40K miles now and no problems.

ATF it holds between one and two quarts. 5W30 youll need 3.
