Ram 1500 2009-2018 | Rear and Front Differential and Transfer Case Fluid Change | Do It Yourself

@MundaneMan takes you through the process of changing the front differential, rear limited slip differential and transfer case fluids on RAM 1500 Trucks from 2009 to 2018. Each component requires a different type of fluid.  I outline the brands that I used that meet the manufacturer's specifications.  Overall the job is not too complicated however if you are lying on your back the refilling process can be challenging.

Because my RAM 1500 has the limited slip rear differential I made sure to add the Mopar Friction Modifier.

I broke this video in to chapters so that you can easily find the information you require:

00:00 Introduction
00:43 Rear Differential Fluid Change
11:59 Front Differential Fluid Change
23:38 Transfer Case Fluid Change
33:00 Test Drive
35:50 Closing Comments

Here are the products that I used:
Rear Differential - Pennzoil Platinum Axle Oil SAE 75W-140 - API GL-5
                                Mopar Limited Slip Additive - Friction Modifier
Front Differential - Castrol Axle Limited Slip 80W-90 - API GL-5
Transfer Case - Mopar Transfer Case Lubricant Pre-2016 44-44
                            Part Number 68089195AA

If you have a 2016 and up Ram 1500 then use ask the dealer parts department what is the correct fluid type you should use. 

Here is a helpful link to get the details about the factory options your RAM came with.  All you need to do is enter your VIN.
