How to change rear differential and transfer case fluid?
1. This process is largely the same as the rear differential, start by breaking loose the fill plug, its to the right of the drain plug, followed by the drain. 2. Let all the oil drain out, replace the washer and reinstall and tighten the drain plug. 3.
What’s the difference between front diff and transfer case?
The magnet on the drain plug should be cleaned just like the rear diff. The transfer case uses a 24mm socket like the rear diff. It is easier to get to, almost directly underneath the middle of the truck. Here’s a perspective shot of what you’re looking for:
Do you know what fluid to use in the transfer case?
The Australian website for Castrol says that SAF XO = 75w90 GL5 gear oil and SAF XJ = 75w140 GL5, both synthetic. Is it OK to use any synthetic gear oil that meets that spec or is something else going on here? I’m in the US. Does anyone know what fluid to use in the transfer case?
How much fluid can I put in a 2WD differential?
Note: If you have 2WD there is no “front” plug to fill on a differential. 2WD don’t have a front differential. Fill quantity – 1.5 qts. Fill quantity – 1.5 qts. Can’t remember if this is V8 Specific or V6 Specific or both, Cheers!
Is the transfer case the same as differential fluid?
1. Is Transfer Case Fluid The Same As Differential Fluid? No. The transfer case normally acts as a differential but it does channel its power to two differentials which are located on two different axles instead of to two wheels on the same axle as it is the case with the differential fluid.
How much fluid does a front differential take?
Front differentials take usually about 0.8 liters of fluid, while rear differentials take around .9 liters of fluid. However, depending on the completeness of your drain, the amount of fluid you can actually put in them might be slightly less.
What kind of oil do I need for a transfer case?
4. What Kind Of Transfer Case Fluid Do I Need? Full-time systems use SAE 10W – 30 or 10W – 40 engine oil while the conventional transfer cases will require SAE 80W-90, or SAE 80W GL-5 gear lubricants. For conventional transfer cases, you will also require DEXRON II fluid for transmission.
How does a transfer case work in a transmission?
They work in unison with the transmission and the front and rear differentials. A transfer case helps control the power being sent to each of the differentials, which in turn manage the power being sent out to each of the drive wheels.
