Check fluid level with engine running at idle. If necessary, add
sufficient fluid to bring level to lower mark of dipstick. Recheck
fluid level after transmission is at normal operating temperature.
Transfer Case
Drain plug is located on bottom of transfer case. Change
drain plug gasket whenever fluid is changed. Lubricant level should be
at bottom of fill hole on side of transfer case.
