First Transfer Case UOA

[CarbonSteel]

I changed the transfer case fluid last week and sent a sample out to the tested. No big surprises and the silicon is likely from sealers and gaskets since the wear metals were not super high. If I had to do it again, I would have dumped it at 10K and again at 20K and settled into an established OCI.

Mopar ATF+4 was reinstalled, but going forward it will be Ravenol ATF+4 that I picked up a while back. I did drop the OEM skid plate instead of attempting to flight with oil splattering everywhere and that only added about 15 minutes to the overall process--well worth it from my point of view.

Neither plug was magnetic, so does anyone know what the thread size is on the drain plug? I want to pick up a magnetic plug to replace the OEM.

Update:

Second UOA - I changed it to get the last of the metals out and in preparation for the MC skid plate install so that I do not have to change it for a while. As it should be (and in sharp contrast to the axles), the wear metals and silicon levels have trended downward nicely.

Mopar ATF+4 was removed and Ravenol ATF+4 was re-installed.

No worries! When I saw your "like" on the OP, I realized that I needed to update with the latest data.
