i have a 98 jeep cherokee 4.0l im looking to change the t case fluid this weekend. I read that recommended is dexron/mercon 2 or atf plus 3. Since dexron 2 they dont make anymore i read that alot of people use dexron 3. Is dexron 3 the right thing to use in my transfer case ?

I have found these 2 whats the difference ?

which one would you recommend or it doesnt matter ? thanks, Im leaning more toward the valvoline maxlife

 

Maxlife just cause I'm a valvoline guy

 

so im assuming if i put this valvoline max life into my transfer case i should put it in the tranny as well ?

 

only if you have a slushbox

 

Dex III/M

 

whats a slush box ? And this valvoline is a substitute for dexron 2 ,dexron 3 i put it in my transfer case this evening so far so good nothings leaking.

 

Dexron 3 is the recommended fluid for the aw4 auto tranny and pretty much any manually shifted, aluminum cased t-case made from the 80's up to about 04.

 

how do i know i have the aw4 tranny? also i know that dexron 3 is recommend what im asking is if the valvoline dex/merc will be okay to use ? It says that its for cars that require dex2/ dex3 ect, if you could please take a quick look at the link and let me know if its okay to use. thank you.

since i do have about 3/4 left over after i filled up my t-case. So im asking if i can use it for my tranny that way il buy some more of the same fluid.

 

Do you have a 4.0? Do you only have 2 peddles? Do you put it in D?

If you answered yes to these questions you have the AW4

 

If it says its recommended for dex 3 then guess what? Its ok to use it in a dex 3 application.

Dex 3 is recommended for the trans and t case. So, yes, you can use the leftover for the trans.

Youre making this way more complicated than it needs to be.

 

guess i do have aw4 and your probably right but i rather be sure now then find out later i put the wrong thing in. Thanks again for answering my questions.

 

slushbox is slang for an automatic

 

ahhh good to know. Never knew that.
