When to Check Lubricant
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule
to determine how often to check the
lubricant. See Scheduled
Maintenance on page 11‑2.
How to Check Lubricant
To get an accurate reading, the
vehicle should be on a level
surface.
A. Drain Plug
B. Fill Plug
If the level is below the bottom of
the fill plug hole, located on the
transfer case, some lubricant will
need to be added. Remove the plug
and add enough lubricant to raise
the level to the bottom of the fill plug
hole. Use care not to overtighten
the plug.
What to Use
See Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 11‑6.
