Np231 fluid
Hi
I have an NP231 transfer case that is almost half empty on fluid. I have some Mercon V ATF fluid, can I put that in it or do I need something else?
I found this on jeep forum
Transfer Case
-NV231 Part-Time (Command-Trac) - 2.2 Pints (1.0L) Dexron III/Mercon
Is mercon v similar enough to mercon? What do you guys put in your 231s?
On a side note, if anyone has any tips on stopping a leak from the drain plug on the 231 it would be greatly appreciated.

For fluid, the t-case doesn't care too much but I wouldn't mix random fluids. Just pull the drain plug, wrap the threads, and fill it up with fresh fluid. I use Supertech ATF+4, but you can use Dex3/Merc (Valvoline MaxLife is really good), or whatever else you want.

Are you sure it's leaking from the threads? You could try some thick PTFE tape on the threads (dont buy the crappy $0.99 tape, it sucks. Get the better stuff, I use Blue Monster or FastTape). Just make sure you wrap the tape in the same direction as the threads.
