If you have an all-wheel-drive vehicle, be sure to perform the lubricant checks described in this section. There are two additional systems that need lubrication.
Transfer Case (3.5L V6 Engine)
When to Check and Change Lubricant
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine how often to check the lubricant and when to change it. See Scheduled Maintenance .
How to Check Lubricant
Fill Plug
Drain Plug
To get an accurate reading, the vehicle should be on a level surface.
If the level is below the bottom of the filler plug hole, located on the transfer case, you'll need to add some lubricant. Add enough lubricant to raise the level to the bottom of the filler plug hole. A fluid loss could indicate a problem; check and have it repaired, if needed.
What to Use
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of lubricant to use. See Recommended Fluids and Lubricants .
