When to Check and Change
Lubricant
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule
to determine how often to check the
lubricant and when to change it.
See
Scheduled Maintenance on
page 10 ‑ 2 .
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, located on
the transfer case, you will need to
add some lubricant. Add enough
lubricant to raise the level to the
bottom of the filler plug hole.
A fluid loss could indicate a
problem; check and have it
repaired, if needed.
What to Use
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule
to determine what kind of lubricant
to use. See
Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants on page 10 ‑ 7 .
