The factory oil is mineral based and rated at 90deg, the transfer case will see temps of around 100deg on highway driving. We upgrade the oil to a semi synthetic type of oil at the same viscosity which has a higher temperature rating. We change the plastic sight glass to a brass type with glass window and replace the plastic fill bolt with a brass type due to seeing failures after a period of time. This allows the service schedule to be put in line with the engine oil change schedule.
