Driveline fluid change, help.
I'm a proud new owner of a '04 AWD. After reading the owners manual it claims the transfer and some sort of clutch fluid needs changing every 30k or so. Is this true? Can I do this myself? Thanks in advance.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY FLUID CHANGE
The drain plug (Differential Drain Plug) for the differential assembly is located in the bottom of the differential assembly case, toward the rear of the unit.
The fill plug (Differential Fill Plug) for the differential assembly is located on the rear of the assembly case.
The correct fill level is to the bottom of the fill plug hole. Be sure the vehicle is on a level surface, or is hoisted in a level manner, in order to obtain the correct fill level.
[ol][*]Raise the vehicle on a hoist.[*]Position a drain pan under the differential drain plug (Differential Drain Plug).[*]Remove the drain plug and allow the fluid to drain into the pan.[*]Install the drain plug and torque to 35 N·m (26 ft. lbs.).[*]Re-position the drain pan under the differential fill plug.[*]Remove the differential fill plug (Differential Fill Plug).[*]Using a suction gun (Filling Differential) or equivalent, fill the differential assembly with 0.7 L (1.48 pts.) of Mopar® Gear and Axle Lubricant (80W-90).[*]Install the fill plug and torque to 35 N·m (26 ft. lbs.).
