that is good to hear. I will still put the right fluid in, when I go to do my differentials, transfer case, and ill do the trans again.

To my understanding,
80w-90 in differentials
mineral oil GL-4 in transmission
10w-30 engine oil in transfer case?

If anyone has any input on the other fluids for other parts Id like to hear it. I primarily use 4wd for snow removal and dont use it nearly much in the warm, maybe should use a 5w or 0w for winter use in transfer? Im not an expert on transfer cases(should point out np205) but Im using the logic of viscosity at -20 or so Fahrenheit.
