    Fluid Changes

    We are in the midst of buying an '06 with QT-II and standard diff's (No Vari-lock), so I'll be changing fluid in both diffs and Transfer case, tranny, coolant oil. What are the recommendations for each?

    I'll be doing all synthetic and my current WJ has Quadra Drive so I had to use FM with the 75w-140, which I no longer need. Transfer Case is NV247 so the "Special" Mopar fluid is used, correct? Oil 5w-30, yes? Transmission is 545RFE so ATF +4?

    I'm a big Amsoil fan. Its in my engine, diffs and tcase.
    You can look up the specs for your particular vehicle at Amsoil.com to see what the proper fluids are. In some cases, they'll actually tell you when there's not an Amsoil product that meets/exceeds OEM requirements. (One example is the CVT used in the Ford Freestyle.... found that out doing some work on my neighbors vehicles )

    I used Mobil 1 no issues with it. The Transfer case fluid I can't remember what the brand was, it was bought from my local repair shop it was that or the dealer. Your TC should also be a NV245 the same as the QD2 TC.

    OK what coolant should I be changing to? The stuff in it is pink/red, I assume that is not good.

    Coolant is dealer only HOAT. There's an aftermarket version supposedly available but I couldn't find it at any parts store within a 20 mile radius...
