I am not a big 4wd kind of guy but royal purple or mobile1 synthetic sounds about right for the x-fer case. Seems like I saw a tv show that used royal purple in a x-fer case maybe on spike tv?

I put Mobil 1 synthetic ATF in mine. It made no noticeable difference over the stuff that undoubtedly had 88000 miles that was in there, but the old stuff certainly looked like $hit. I've never had ATF all over the place before. That stuff smells to high heaven.

90w gear lube with about 200k on it smells even worse.
