Transfer & differential

[JukeJeep392]

greetings all. Just picked up my new ‘26 Moab 392. Had a great experience via Roberson in Salem OR. Anyway, I was talking to a guy who has a ‘24 392 and he insisted I change the oil at no more than 5k … but also the transfer case and f/r differential fluids every 10k. I’m happy to do them (myself) but just wondering if that’s a ridiculous overkill or if it’s good preventative maintenance? Thanks for your input and thoughts!

Nope. Treat that transfer case like a wet clutch on a motorcycle.

I plan to change mine every 10k or once per year. Whichever comes first.

Differentials can go by manufacturer recommendation if you’re not doing water crossings.
