You're right, it's not really an engine-related question...but your tranny and t-case both should use automatic transmission fluid. If you added gear oil, it's too thick and won't carry properly to lubricate thoroughly (I believe certain oil passages were made smaller for the thinner ATF).
A good upgrade would be a synthetic ATF such as Redline or Royal Purple.
