Drain and refill transfer case fluid - The specs say 1.6 quarts. I had a big jug of Amsoil, so I don't know exactly how much I put in.

Had some time today so I changed my transfer case fluid today, also my front differential, did not get the back done forgot to get a gasket. What a mess I had, the drain pan was not under the drain hole and got all over the driveway, oh well all part of the experience I quess. Refilled with amsoil fluids.

ok so question...is this the same as refilling as a manual tranny? just fill it up until fluid starts coming back out of the whole? for a complete tranny fluid change i was going to do this with dropping the pan i might have a bit of old fluid left but its ok better then not having any fresh fluid...and a new filter...

I didn't see this mentioned, so I will throw it out there:

Despite most of us having newer trucks that "should" not have this issue, Remove the FILL plug first.

Reason being that if you can't remove the fill plug and you drain it, then you are SOL.

Stupid question when I fill it back up do I wait till all the excess fluid drain out of the fill spot or put the bolt in right when it starts spewing out fluid, coz I waited about 5 mins after it starts spewing out fluid and when I put the bolt back in it was nearly throwing out

You would be fin to let it drain to the bottom of the fill hole.
