Thanks guys.

Thinking of using the royal purple, is this safe for the transfer case?
and how much fluid do I need for the front and rear end.

thanks again

Royal Purple is fine, though I used the over-priced Chrysler synthetic from the dealer. I think between the front and back diff's I used a little less than four quarts total. I have an '01 4.7L 4WD quad.
