Infrequent Usage: Remove the 12-volt battery black, negative (−) cable from

All-Wheel Drive

If the vehicle is equipped with

All-Wheel Drive (AWD), this is an additional system that needs

lubrication.

Transfer Case

When to Check Lubricant

It is not necessary to regularly check

the transfer case fluid unless a leak is suspected or an unusual noise is

heard. A fluid loss could indicate a problem. Have it inspected and

repaired.

How to Check Lubricant

1. Fill Plug

2. Drain Plug

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

If the level is below the bottom of the fill plug hole on the transfer case,

some lubricant will need to be added.

Add enough lubricant to raise the level to the bottom of the fill plug

hole. Use care not to overtighten the fill plug.
