Transfer Case oil 2005 GU Ute what to use ?

Post by Dick »

I have been servicing my recently aquired ute and went to change the transfer box oil, the book said to use ATF.. and sure enough it looked like (old) ATF when I drained it. So run of the mill ATF is ok to use in the box ? Seemed a bit odd to me, why ATF ?
I also used Castrol LSD in the slippery rear diff, does this run ok ?
Thanks.

In the nissan manual it recomends a 75w/80 APLI GL-4 oil for the transfer case.
