|  oil level ford cmp transfer case 
			
			Hello I have fill my transfert case of my FAT 1941 with oil level on the filler plug with about 2.8liter , but wile driving oil is liking on the top of the case on the air vent, so I ask myself if there was not to much oil ? On my ford manual they say FAT case need 2 imperial pints, but Niels send me a copy of is ford manual that said 5 pints, Are there different transfert types or is one manual wrong, I would'n like to brake my transfert for an oil level!! Regards Sylvain |

			Hello Sylvain, See http://www.mapleleafup.net/vehicles/.../fordspec.html under "Lubrication Capacity": Transfer Case - 2 pts. for all models. A US Pint (Liquid) equals to 0.473 liter. so 2 pints is 0.946 liter. Your 2.8 liter equals to the 5 pints quoted by Niels. If it spills out at the vents it clearly is too much. Hanno

			Thank you hanno,  That also what I was thinking, but why is Niels ford manual talking about 5pints are they bigger cases mabe on later one? If I use 2 pints I will be far deeper than the filler plug, so impossible to check the level, strange for a military truck? Regards Sylvain |

			There were also two styles of Transfer Case body, in both single and two-speed cases. The style with a rounded bottom held the 2 pint capacity, while the flat-bottom case held 5 pints. Oddly, the Ford Master Parts Catalog shows the rounded-bottom case (2 pint) being the EARLIER part number, while the flat bottom case (5 pint) has a LATER part number, opposite to what the operator manuals might indicate. See pics in THIS THREAD. |

			At least on the later models, there are two smaller level plugs on the other side of the transfer case.  There was a thread on here a while back about the purpose (I seem to remember it was related to the temperature).  As such there are two different capacities.
