336 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
Frequency of Fluid Change
Under normal operating conditions, the fluid installed at
the factory will give satisfactory lubrication for the life of
the vehicle. Fluid changes are not necessary unless the
lubricant has become contaminated with water. If con-
taminated with water, the fluid should be changed im-
mediately.
Transfer Case
Fluid Level Check
Inspect the transfer case for fluid leaks. If a fluid leak is
evident, the transfer case fluid level can be checked by
removing the fill plug (B) located at the back of the
transfer case.
The fluid level should be to the bottom edge of the fill
hole (A) when the vehicle is in a level position.
Adding Fluid
Only at filler hole until fluid runs out of the hole, when
the vehicle is in a level position.
Drain
First remove fill plug (B), then drain plug (C). Recom-
mended tightening torque for drain and fill plugs is
15–25 ft. lbs. (20–34 N·m).
