Which severe gear are you going to use 75-110 or 75-140?

I say definitely change it. I changed mine at ~13K mi (along with the Rear Diff. fluid) and the stuff was pitch black and the drain plug (which is magnetic, same as in the trans) was covered in a 2-3mm thick layer of metal shavings. And after seeing the performance (and wear) differences between the OEM fluid and AMSOIL in the transmission, you'd have to twist my arm to get me to put the Mitsu stuff back in there. When I change the ACD and AYC fluid I'll use the OEM stuff, but for the trans/TC/diff there are better-performing alternatives out there.

AMSOIL SVG 75W-90

And ignore the part about having to bleed the system, that's the procedure for when you change the ACD (or AYC) fluid. The Transfer Case is drain plug, fill plug, done. GL

You only need 1 qt to do the t case yourself. Not worth 300 bucks.

If that didn't makes sense, I am completely wasted and I apologixe.... have a nice day.

I used amsoil svg 75 90 for the t case. I used the diaqueen mitsu stuff the first time.
