All -
I drained my front 4x4 transfer case, 2005 Grand Cherokee WK, this week and noticed the gear lube seemed thick....maybe an 85w-140?
The factory Mopar fill calls for 5016796 fluid (Mopar MS-10216) specifically for the front, which I used.
I am the second owner of the Jeep, currently at 94,000 miles. Dealer had records only for oil changes and the like...no driveline history.
My question: with the thick appearance of the old lube, should I be concerned about mechanical wear? I'm guessing someone previously used the same weight for front and rear.
After changing, the steering is much more responsive and less sluggish.
