4wheel drive fluid?
I was at the dealer for my 12k maintenance and she told me that I needed a 4wheel drive fluid change for $200:thinking:. I said no as $200 fluid change sounded steep to me. Later I looked in the maintenance schedule and found no such service for any 4wheel drive fluid.:crazyeyes:
here are my questions: Is there such a fluid? and would it really cost $200? |
Yes, but it should only be installed after the trail ride. It should only cost $200 if it's a very rare single malt.:rotflmao1:
Seriously, could he be talking about transfer case or differential lube? |
I know the dealer wanted to do that to my Dodge ram. It was like 250ish. It included the transfer case and both diffs. I passed and did it myself.

$200 is way too much to change any fluid. Hell, pay me $200, and I'll change all your fluids, then I'll go buy myself something nice. And no, there is no such thing as 4WD fluid. They don't think your a blonde woman do they?

4Wheel drive in a can. Just poor it in any two wheel drive vehicle, and ''ta..da'' you have 4wd

A big part of that $200 price tag is the labor (think my dealer charges around $95/hr). Yes you should have all fluids changed per the recommended interval (I think it's 15K for the diffs, not sure on the transfer case off the top of my head). You can do it yourself and save a ton of money, it's not difficult.

Always read the labels though. I had some older Mobil 1 laying around and it didn't come with the limited slip additive in it.
I've known some guys to drink 4wd in a can and they thought they had instant 4wd. The local towing company loved those guys. |
