Gear oils

The owner's manual specs 75W90 GL4 for the transfer case (2.2l), and 90W GL5 for the axles - get 3 litres, the capacities vary depending on whether it's a 3 door or 5 door, and don't forget the front axle freewheel mechanism has it's own drain & fill plugs.

GL4 oils can be hard to find and so may be a straight 90W, if you have trouble consider a "yellow metal friendly"  75W90 GL5 for all - Mobil One or Valvoline full synthetic.
