Is this normal - or am I looking to get stuck down the road?
I changed the transfer case oil (and front and rear diff oil), at 1500 miles and at 12k miles on my 05. While I expected the 1500 mile oil to be fairly clean( and it was), the 12k oil also looked like new and there was nothing on the drain plug.
1/3 of my mileage is in 4WD and I shift into and out of 4WD at least 20 times a week.
From my experience, what you described is not normal, my new oil looked the same as the old oil that I changed out, I figured I wasted my money on the oil change.
