Do we need fluid from dealer for transfer case?...or what are the substitutes, truck is a 2000 silverado.

 

Thanks, Martin

If you have the "Autotrac" system (RPO Code NP8) as far as I know their are no substitutes.

GM Part#12378508 is what you need,It runs $6.47 a quart and takes two to just over two quarts for a flush-n-fill.

If you have the manual system (RPO Code NP2) then all you need is Dexron III auto.trans.fluid.

Yep, GM "blue" fluid ... below is a quick list that I keep on file (M1=Mobil1); but, I usually buy an extra quart of each just in case the "standard" amount is not enough or to compensate for spillage, etc ... [actually I take it all to a local very trustworthy quick change place :] :

 

Trans service: 5qt M1 ATF

Rear axle: 3qt M1 75w90

Front axle: 2qt M1 75w90

Transfer Case: 2qt AutoTrak II Blue GM: 12378508

Sounds about what I pay. Nothing like the $27/qt grape flavored GM Gear Lube that I REFUSE to pay for. Not when Mobil 1 has been working great for 140K miles with some regular semi-heavy towing. The AutoTrak II is actually reasonably priced compared to some of the gouging GM does.

Well, I have actually tasted other oils as I was laying on my back and it splashed onto my lips. Regarding the grape.....never tasted it but it sure smells like grape and it's purple so an educated guess means it probably tastes like grape
