Fluid for Ford Escape Transfer Case
The recommended fluid for the Ford Escape transfer case is 75W-140 synthetic oil. The transfer case does not use automatic transmission fluid (ATF) like some other vehicles. It is important to note that only 12 ounces of fluid are required for the transfer case.
While the Ford Motor Company recommends using Motorcraft brand fluid, other brands such as Valvoline are also suitable for use in the transfer case. It is important to ensure that the fluid meets the specifications for the Ford Escape transfer case.
Please note that the transfer case fluid should be changed at the recommended intervals to ensure proper lubrication and prevent damage to the internal components of the transfer case.

Does the transmission and transfer case use the same fluid?
Both fluids serve as cooling lubricants for their respective systems. However, the two lubricants are different. While some transfer cases use automatic transmission fluid instead of dedicated transfer case fluid, the two are generally not interchangeable.
How do I know if I need transfer case fluid?
Difficulty changing gears – Low or dirty transfer case fluid can affect your transmission’s ability to shift gears. It can also result in your car unexpectedly falling out of four-wheel drive. Loud noises while driving – As the transfer case fluid loses its lubricating properties, friction will occur inside.
