![]() Replacing the transfer case fluid on a regular basis prevents it from degrading and provides protection from premature wear and damage. If for example, a vehicle is regularly driven off-road in rough terrain, recommendations for a fluid change might jump in frequency from around 30-36,000 miles to 15,000 miles. It’s important to check the level of the fluid and change it per vehicle manufacturer recommendations remembering that driving in severe conditions (described above) will increase the optimal service frequency. The transfer case requires fluid to lubricate the gears so they stay cool and turn smoothly. This gearbox delivers power from the transmission to the front, rear or all four wheels depending on whether or not the vehicle is 4WD or AWD. Because these vehicles work hard, components like the transfer case and differential require extra TLC to stay in peak condition.īelow, Jiffy Lube of Southern California describes the necessary maintenance for 4WD and AWD vehicles including information about why the transfer case and the differential are important to the performance of these vehicles: Transfer Case Needs may also depend on how often it’s driven in severe conditions ranging from rugged off-road use to towing, stop-and-go driving, or rolling through dust, dirt, or mud. The maintenance needs of a four-wheel drive (4WD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicle are different from those of its two-wheel drive cousin.
