Re: transfer case oil

My 1972 called for 80/90 gear lube in the 205.
My 1980 called for 30w motor oil in the 205.
My 1988 V-30 calls for ATF in the 205.
They all work.

You can pretty much run any 30w motor oil in the 203 full time transfer case. In extreme weather some even run 10/30 in colder climates and 10/40 in warmer areas.
