Not in the transfer, use gear oil 80/90 or similar.

There are better manual gearbox oils available now, DX2 is not really the best available these days. And the transfer case should never be run on DX2 either.

What should I use

[Rick1970]

Penrite Transgear 75w/80 in my g/box (LT77). Only complaint is a slight balk when changing gears on a really cold morning (prob -3 and under), after a km or so its fine. There are numerous other brands of manual trans fluids that could be ok.

85w/140 prob a tad on the heavy side.
