Time to change the transfer case fluid, My local carquest have Amsoil severe gear 75W90 for sale. Used a few Amsoil products and had good results but never used Amsoils gear oil’s.

AMSOIL Severe Gear is an excellent product, I'm using it in our RAM 1500 - front and rear diffs. You can use it with confidence.

Does your transfer case call for API GL-5 gear oil?

I've been using it for10+ yrs in all kinds and sizes of vehicle differentials.
Good stuff.

Yes GL-5

 

[SubieRubyRoo]

Yes GL-5

Amsoil Severe Gear is a top-tier product.

 

[Donald]

Yes GL-5

Double check that. Most transfer cases take a much thinner lubricant like ATF.

I think Amsoil SVG is the or one of the best gear oils out there. But more expensive than almost any other company's gear oil.

But given the number of QTs needed and change frequency a higher costing gear oil is less of a big deal.

The transfer case requires GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil

If your owner's manual specifies 75W-90 API GL-5 gear oil for your transfer case then you may use AMSOIL Severe Gear 75W-90.

For anyone else wondering, there are some transfer cases that call for GL-5 gear oil.

I used it in my wife’s 19 Pilot AWD xfer case.

expensive but "may" be worth it. i like + use REAL synthetic Redlines drivetrain lubes, doing my tranny + differentials in my 11 fronty netted about 3 mpgs, expensive but going from 16 to 19 ia a good jump + getting better protection + longer life is an added plus. i would look into HPL lubes these days as well.

I went from Redline to Amsoil 75W-110 and now 75W-90 in my 4-pinion LSD.

That product is highly regarded in the FlAT124 Spider forums……use with confidence.

Wait - delta gain of 3 mpg from gear lubes ?

The one I find interesting is the Porsche track guys plugging for Delvac 1 - an OTR truck gear oil …
Guess that’s why I have found it at Summit Racing …
Lots to learn from social gear heading

Valvoline 75w90 is also GL-5 at a cheaper price.

Or Mobil 1 75W-90, works well.
