Chevrolet Silverado: Vehicle Checks / Four-Wheel Drive
Transfer Case
When to Check Lubricant
Refer to Maintenance Schedule to determine when to check the lubricant.

- Fill Plug
- Drain Plug
To get an accurate reading, the vehicle should be on a level surface.
If the level is below the bottom of the fill plug (1) hole, located on the transfer
case, some lubricant will need to be added. Add enough lubricant to raise the level
to the bottom of the fill plug (1) hole. Use care not to overtighten the plug.
When to Change Lubricant
Refer to Maintenance Schedule to determine how often to change the lubricant.
What to Use
Refer to Recommended Fluids and Lubricants to determine what kind of lubricant
to use.
The original equipment battery is maintenance free. Do not remove the cap and
do not add fluid.

The wiring circuits in the vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination
of fuses and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of damage caused
by electrical problems.

GM has developed and matched specific tires for the vehicle. The original equipment
tires installed were designed to meet General Motors Tire Performance Criteria Specification
