Re: transfer case oil
Use gear oil 80w-90! Can get it at most auto parts stores.

Re: transfer case oil
Wrong again. The 203 uses straight 30W motor oil. 205 will work fine with either gear oil or ATF.

Re: transfer case oil
Thats what I have heard. I have always just used 80-90w gear oil in the 205s guess its personnel preference.

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. |

Re: transfer case oil
Dragging this one back up to confirm that the Np 203 uses 30W non detergent motor oil correct?
