Do it like brake fluid. Bleed until the new clean fluid starts coming out.

ACD is the one place i would use nothing but factory fluid. The damn system is fickle and picky as it is.

many folks running AMSOIL in the ACD,,, it just a darn SP 111 ATF fluid for crying out loud


you have to drain from the transfer case there is a bleeder fitting on top of the TC,,, there are some procedures in these forums on how to.

from the looks of it their is only one line going to the acd from the pump, im going to try taking the oil line off and just bleeding into a bucket. completely forgot about the pump and filled the front diff.. i just dont want to mix all that new oil with dirty oil.. giving it a shot when i get off work soon.
