Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Signs of Wear & Troubleshooting
- If you inspect your transfer case fluid, and find it to be thicker, dark or black in color, or milky/opaque, it could be a sign of contamination or fluid break down. If this is the case, it is time to change your fluid. Always use the transfer case fluid recommended in your owner's manual or by your vehicle's manufacturer.
Good Maintenance Practices
- Check and change your transfer case fluid as often as recommended in your owner's manual or by your vehicle's manufacturer. Always use the type of fluid as recommended by these sources as well. Replacing transfer case fluid will minimize premature wear or damage caused by contaminated or worn out fluid.
- Do not overfill your transfer case. Too much fluid within the transfer case can hinder performance and harm the system. Always use the amount of fluid as recommended in your owner's manual or by your vehicle's manufacturer.
- Do not directly power wash your transfer case output seals. High pressure water can overcome the seals and contaminate the transfer case fluid. Contaminated fluid will decrease the life of the transfer case and should be replaced.
