The Transfer Case Oil change is one of the easier jobs to carry out yourself and only requires some basic hand tools and equipment. The 4wd transfer case is in control of transferring drive between the front and rear axles and also enabling us to select ultra low range gearing inside the transfer case. This gearing allows us to have total control in difficult off-road situations.
To check your transfer case oil follow these steps below -
1. remove the transfer case fill bung
2. take a small sample of the oil
3. put the oil sample onto a white piece of paper or towel
4. compare the oil sample to some fresh oil
5. if oil is dark, burnt or very old - replace with fresh oil/fluid
6. enjoy trouble free 4wd transfer operation
These steps will enable you to accurately check and maintain your 4wd transfer case and its oil. By regularly maintaining the oil in our driveline components we ensure trouble free operation for hundreds of thousands of kilometers. The 4wd transfer case oil change is best carried out when the vehicle is at operating temperature. This ensures that the oil thins out enough so that the majority of the old oil is removed from the transfer case.
You will require some basic hand tools and bits and pieces to carry out the transfer case fluid change. You will need -
- Oil drain tray
- Socket set and breaker bar
- Cardboard
- Oil transfer pump
- Transfer case oil
- Degreaser
Allow approximately 1 hour to carry out the transfer case oil change. This is an easy job for an avid DIYer. Ensure you only roll under the vehicle when it is secured in park with the handbrake on and with the wheels chocked.
The 4wd transfer case transmits drive from the transmission to the rear wheels when 2wd is selected. When 4wd high range is selected via either the transfer stick or the electronic buttons the transfer engages the drive to the front and rear axles. Then when selecting low range, the transfer case selects ultra low gearing internally to give a large reduction in output speed. In the Isuzu Mu-x and D-max the transfer case is controlled electronically via a selection switch inside the vehicle.
The Isuzu Mu-x and D-max use engine oil in the transfer case, I use 10w40 fully synthetic engine oil in the Mu-x transfer case. Ensure you check the manufacturers specifications or your local auto store to find out what oil is recommended for your vehicle.
Cheers Guys :)
