Transfer case fluid is either synthetic or customary gear oil, but like many car, certain vehicles need certain type of transfer case fluids. It removes heat and lubricates the inner parts in the move case, keeping its gears cool and turning easily.

Eventually transfer case fluid becomes impure due to carbon build up from cooling hot drive train mechanism. This may involve a vehicle's presentation, causing the car to shudder when turning or emit whining sound. If the fluid runs low or becomes contaminated, it can lead to failure of the differential. To keep away from this issue, it is optional that the transfer case fluid be changed occasionally, usually every 30,000 miles, particularly in vehicles that tow or use four-wheel drive often. When a car is used for towing or is in four-wheel drive commonly, the transfer case fluid is cycled through the scheme more frequently. These events require more torque, which income more heat to move. So, while it may be tempting to wait until 70,000 miles to change the transfer case fluid, waiting could mean less efficient use of the vehicle's drivetrain system.
