Looking to renew my transfer box
Is the oil the same as front and rear diff
This is not a diff lock transfer box

Thanks

From Haynes:
75W/90R API GL5, so yes, same as axles.

Yeah as Stanleysteamer says same as diffs. I did my transfer box oil earlier just make sure you undo the filler plug first I had to use a breaker bar to undo mine as some idiot had over tightened it before & I would have been kicking myself if I'd drained it first & then couldn't get the filler out. It's a pig to fill just using a pint & 3/4 bottle(now we're out of Europe)

with the clear plastic tube. Drain plug 22 lb ft, filler plug 18 lb ft. Good luck.

I have a habit of using a plant sprayer, like the sort you pressurise when filling my autobox, all you have to do then is put the oil stuff in the big bottle, pump the handle up good and hard, then get under the vehicle, with the pipe with the sprayer bit on the end taken off, shove it in the hole and trigger the trigger.
That's assuming there is enough room else, you have to have a bit of flexi on the end.
Once used, you won't want to use anything else!

Warm the oil bottles in a bucket of hot water. The thinner oil will pump easier into the autobox and diffs.
