has anyone done their transfer case fluid on AWD XF? i looked for instructions online but couldnt find any. when i went underneath i could only find a drain bolt.

 

I was confused as well. Shop told me it is lubricated with the same fluid as the trans?

 

I dont think its the same fluid as ZF transmission fluid. I contacted Royal purple and they recommended RP Synchromax. Ive had good luck with these fluids on my LR3. I just cant find a proper way to fill it up

This is exactly what i have been looking for thanks alot. looks like the fill plug is hidden inside the brace which i never took off. Really appreciate it.

 

nice find

 

Rummy, can you show me where the X351 transfer case module is located? (Love to see it like your pics here) I have an "intermittent" code failure so I am guessing that it is best to change it out. But I need to find it first and your threads here are very helpful.
