Don't use anything but GL-4 in a Gen I transfer case! This has been batted around and I have read through all of the threads on this...

For Gen I users, here is a great gear oil for front diff, transfer case and rear open diffs. It is for services GL-3, GL-4, GL-5.

If you have an LSD rear diff, use this combo. One additive bottle first and fill it the rest of the way with gear oil.

If you don't ride your horse in the creek often, you might want to go with synthetic oil. Here is what I would put in front and rear open diffs.

If you like to get your Monty wet a lot, don't go with the synthetics... you'll be blowing a wad if you do since you should replace these fluids and tranny fluid after any deep fording. You should also grease, grease, GREASE the zerks as well.

If you have a wad to blow, you should be buying a Don's bumper, Don's *NEW* ezfit rocker skids and a safari snorkel!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
