Fluid capacities

Mornin, DTR... I went to change out my transfer case fluid... no numbers inside the owners manual... it also says to use ATF-4... I thought that the transfer case was gear oil?

Also, dodge did not put fluid levels for the rear diffs and tranny... I did my tranny the other day, and it took two and a half gallons. ( aftermarket deep pan)

Soo... I need to know the transfer case and both diff's, please!


Thanks, DTR...

Go to Amsoil.com and do a vehicle search and it will give you all capacities and recommended fluids.

Definately use (I suggest Amsoil) ATF+4

Using anything other than ATF+4 will cause your 4WD to pop out of gear when throttle is applied, or you may not even be able to engage 4WD.

Trust me, I know from prior experience..........

Mark, both the transfer case and Hydroboost system use ATF+4, AAMs use your favorite gear oil.

Here are the capacities from the FSM:

9.25 AAM - 76 oz

NV5600 - 9.5 pts

G56 - 12 pts

NV271/273 - 4 pts

11.5 AAM - 122 oz
