What the transfer case does
The transfer case sends power to both axles. Its fluid lubricates the gears and chain (if equipped) and carries heat away from the moving parts.
Why fluid service matters
Transfer case fluid degrades over time and can collect metal wear. Old fluid reduces lubrication and increases wear on the case's internal components.
The interval depends on your vehicle
Not every vehicle has a transfer case — only four-wheel-drive and AWD models do. If yours does, we service the fluid on the schedule that fits your vehicle and driving.
