Looking at the fluid section in the FAQ, I didn't see anything on the amount of fluid in the transfer case.

Anyone know how much I need for a drian and refill? I need to go with synthetic ASAP because of the temp here in N. Dakota but don't want to buy too much due to $. Somewhere I saw Beno said 4 or so qts. Anyone have a more exact number?


Differential oil
Front w/o Dfferential lock 2.80 liters (2.9 US qts, 2.5 lmp. qts) Transfer Case takes the same fluid type as the Differential
w/ Dfferential lock 2.65 liters (2.8 US qts, 2.3 lmp. qts)
Rear 3.25 liters (3.4 US qts, 2.9 lmp. qts)
Hypoid gear oil API GL-5
Above -18°C (0°F) SAE 90
Below -18°C (0°F) SAE 80W-90 or 80W
 
Get yourself 2 qts. 75w-90 gear oil. Manual states 1.8 qts
 
Thanks, I'm going to get to it this weekend. I'll let everyone know if 2 is enough.
 
That is the capacity of the 95 LC I would assume the 96 LX has the same TC. Correct me if I am wrong!!!
 
Yeah, my 96 doesn't quite use the total contents of two gear oil bottles.
