Lubricant checks in this section also apply to these
vehicles. However, there are two additional systems
that need lubrication.

Transfer Case

When to Check Lubricant

It is not necessary to regularly check the transfer case
fluid unless you suspect there is a leak or you hear
an unusual noise. A fluid loss could indicate a problem.
Have it inspected and repaired.

How to Check Lubricant

To get an accurate reading, the vehicle should be on a
level surface.

If the level is below the bottom of the filler plug hole,
you’ll need to add some lubricant. Add enough lubricant
to raise the level to the bottom of the filler plug hole.
Use care not to overtighten the plug.

What to Use

Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind of lubricant to use. See

Recommended Fluids

and Lubricants on page 6-11.
