What oil do i need to use for the transfer case and rear differential?
I was just curious if they use a different kind of oil then the transmission oil. Do I need to use one of these fluids? http://www.amsoil.com/a/synthetic-gear-oil. Much help will be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks. How about the Redline Heavy Shockproof Gear Oil? Do they hold up pretty good on the transfer case and rear differential?

Redline shockproof (strawberry sauce) in the transfer case.
Redline 75-90 gear oil in the rear diff.
30,000 miles plus with no problems.

I bought diaqueen from a dealer, cost $48, only comes in gallon jugs. I still got 3 quarts left over though for future changes.

OEM diaqueen for DD.

a little more protection for the OP, get that severe gear 75w90 it quiets down the TC and rear diff, many people have experienced the quieting down of the drivetrain with AMSOIL severe gear
