Caps lock??

We only have 1 transfer case, the one that connects to the transmission.

The others are the front diff and rear diff. Both of those just take gear oil, like a 75W90 and will be brown/black when drained.

The transfer case on a 4WD non AWD normally just takes regular ATF/transfluid. The AWD transfer cases will take that special auto trak fluid. It's not abnormal for the T-case fluid to be colored if it hasnt been changed in a long time.
