Transfer case fluid change

Time to change the fluid in my `99 Expedition's transfer case. Is this a simple drain and refill, or is there anything difficult about it?

The most difficult part about it is getting a funnel into the filler hole and not spilling any fluid. Make sure to use regular mercon when changing it and not mercon 5. Other than that it is just a normal drain and refill

They make these great little gadgets for filling an auto tranny that consist of a nozzle that screws onto the bottle with a tube on it. Works great for filling tcases too. Might want to shorten the tube a little to make it easier to get up in there.

Be nice...

Hey Monte - play nice, okay?

Perhaps the owner's manual is not an option ( it's gone AWOL).

Lifted: Use any good quality Mercon tranny fluid. Synthetic would be my choice - Mobil1, Amsoil, etc.

Approx 2.27 litres ( that's 2.4 quarts) for a fill.

Cheers
