2000 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 4L SOHC has 294,958k

My 2000 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 4L SOHC has 294,958k. Last year we replaced the transfer case for the 4WD due to operator dumbness - didnt know it had one, let alone needed oil! Has had new spark plugs, gets 5k oil changes with synthetic oil, got good mileage (12.4L per 100k) till recently - what now? It has gotten poorer and poorer mileage, till now it is 15.6L/100k - the check engine light comes on, the dash panel says to tighten the gas cap, the garage says there are no codes!?

I love this vehicle, have had it 4 years, never want to part with it. Last winter when everyone else was getting stuck in my long snowy driveway, it just walked in and out over the wreckage they made of the chewed-up ruts.

Any suggestions? Did I mention this is the best farmers wife vehicle I have ever owned?

do what? how does this happen?
 






Re: Do What?

Our solution - if you have a 4wd, with a transfer case, check the level of oil in the transfer case each time you change the oil.

im just wondering how you can have 4wd without a xfer case?
 






Mine hit 300,000 3 weeks ago on a 2400 mile road trip.
 






How Can You Have a 4WD Without a Transfer Case

Maybe someone else is as dumb as me and doesnt know a transfer case exists, let alone that it should have the fluid in it checked after you drive through the creek chasing cattle!
