Transfer Box Oil

[chrisExplorer]

Hi,
What type and what about does the transfer case hold in oil, Also will I need to replace any gaskets on this when the oil is changed?

Thanks
Chris

easy to do you just need a socket drive + extension for drain / fill plugs -no gaskets to worry about...
uses ATF from memory was 750 ml ..but check in the transmission section to be sure
good luck

I beleive i've read that the transfer case can use any ATF ie it doesn't have to be the expensive mercon V. I did a search in the transmissions section on transfer case removal and read it in one of the threads.

Hi

Ford specify a different oil to that used in the transmission (ESP-M2C 166H for the transfer box and WS9 M2C 202-B for the transmission).
