What is the transfer case fluid all about?

The transfer case is a special gear box found in four-wheel and all-wheel-drive vehicles. It sends drive power from the engine to the front and rear axles. In all-wheel-drive vehicles, the transfer case helps to shift power from one axle to another, depending upon traction conditions. Lubricant fluid in the transfer case helps to keep its gears cool and turning smoothly. Replacing this fluid at appropriate intervals can help prevent premature wear and damage caused by contaminated or broken-down lubricant.

Keep in mind:

If the transfer case fluid is low, the entire transfer case should be inspected for leaks.

How it's done:

Check the condition of the fluid
Drain the fluid if it is dirty or brown in color
Fill the new fluid
Test drive vehicle and check for leaks

Our recommendation:

Transfer case fluid should be replaced at least every 30,000 miles. You should schedule this maintenance for your vehicle, and anytime the transfer case is inspected, the transfer case fluid should be checked.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the transfer case fluid?

Transfer case fluid is dirty
Car is unable to change gears

How important is this service?

The transfer case is a gear box that is unique to four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles. The transfer case is responsible for sending power from the engine to both the front and the rear axles, and shifting power from one to the other depending on the conditions of the road. Transfer case fluid is responsible for keeping the components of the transfer case well lubricated. When this fluid leaks out or becomes contaminated, it is no longer able to act as a lubricant, and severe damage can be caused to the transfer case.

Lexus RX450h V6-3.5L Hybrid - Brake System Flush - New River, Arizona

I would like to rate Peter 10 stars if I could! Here's a guy who's already hit 1000 5 star reviews! That's insane! When two other mechanics cancelled on me for a brake flush on my Lexus RX450h, YourMechanic sent their "best" tech out to do it. And they weren't kidding. Peter is one of the very best if not "the best" there is. Not only did he do the job quickly and correctly but he has an amazing bedside manner. He is one of the most intelligent people I've met in a long time and I had an amazing conversation with him. You can tell that he loves people as well as cars and it is more than just about the money for him. YourMechanic has a superstar here and they should have him training staff for how to treat clients as well as for his vast knowledge about cars, how the subsystems work, and how to troubleshoot and repair them. If YourMechanic continues to hire such top tier guys like Peter, car shops are going to be in trouble. Absolutely amazing service in every way. YourMechanic has brought humanity back to car care and has given amazing mechanics a more flexible schedule so it's a win-win. I really enjoy getting to know the person who is directly taking care of my vehicle. You just cannot compete with that. Thank you Peter. It was a sincere honor to meet you! And what a great accent! If you're lucky enough to book him, definitely do.
