Fluid Level Inspection

  1. Wipe fluid level plug and surrounding area clean.
  2. Remove fluid level plug.
  3. When transfer case is full, lubricant will just drip out fluid level plug opening.
  4. Add approved lubricant if required.
  5. Install fluid level plug and torque to 20-30 N.m (14-22 lb. ft).
NOTE:
  • To check or drain the lubricant, the transfer case should be warm. 

    This is best done shortly after shutdown. 

  • Do not use an impact wrench to remove or install the fill or drain plugs since this will damage female threads in transfer case cover.
