NV231HD and NV241LD Transfer Case

DESCRIPTION
Recommended lubricant for the NV231HD and NV241LD transfer case models is Mopar Dexron III, or ATF+3, type 7176. Use this fluid for topping off the level, refilling after service, or normal fluid changes.

Do not use anti-friction additives or similar products in the NV231HD or NV241LD transfer cases. Use recommended lubricant only.
Approximate lubricant refill capacities are 1.5 to 2 liters (3 to 3.6 pints) for the NV231HD and 2.7 L (5.0 pts.) for the NV241LD.

Correct fluid level for the transfer cases is to the bottom edge of the fill plug hole, Be sure that the vehicle is level when checking the fill level.


OPERATION
The transfer case lubricant is selected to provide the highest level of protection for the internal components by providing a lubricating film between adjacent metal components. The lubricant also serves to cool the components by transferring the heat from the component to the transfer case housing, whereby the heat is radiated to the atmosphere.
