Wink Transfer Case Fluid

The transfer case will take the same fluid my tranny takes, MerconV, corrct?

If so, how much fluid does it take? Is there a drain plug to easily remove the old stuff? if so, where is it located?

I really appreciate the help....I am mechanically challeneged but I have learned a great deal from this awesome site about my awesome truck!!!

That reminds me to change mine.

The drain and fill holes are located under the shift motor on the backside of the case. Make sure you have a way to put the fluid in the fill hole. Fill it until it starts to run out and then plug her up. Should take less then 2 qts.

When you drain it, fab up a splash shield so it doesn't hit the crossmember and make a huge mess on your floor.

Mercon or V is acceptable. Factory uses what ever the transmission used. (New is MerconV).
