I have a 2008, so it might be different, but my manual says to "inspect" the transfer case fluid at 30k, and replace the spark plugs. According to my manual, it doesnt need a tranny fluid change until 120k, which seems high.
Rear diff fluid is a bit under three quarts, plus the friction modifier. 5W-30 should be fine for the Denver winter. 0w-30 synth will probably work, as well.
Thanks for the info guys. My manual also says to "inspect" the fluids, whatever the hell that means. Also, I found in my manual I need 5w20 oilsince I have the Hemi.
Biggest thing now is when to change the diff fluid and tranny fluid
Well it probably wouldnt hurt to change the fluids, especially since you are the second owner. You never know what the old owner did or didnt do. I would think a store like Autozone would know the capacities.
