Per the manual for my 2006 Escalade:
The front and back diff fluid should be approx 5/8" below the filler plug hole.
The Transfer case should be filled with "enough lubricant to raise the level
to the bottom of the filler plug hole".
So thats what I did. Today I decided to check levels of all 3 hot. The diffs remained in spec, but the transfer case literally squirted hot Dex III out of the filler plug hole. When it slowed I put the plug back in and measured what came out. Approx 5 ounces. Should I refill after it cools down? Or am I better off on the low side for the diffs and TC so there's no aeration in the fluids? Does ATF expand more than other fluids like motor oil and gear fluid?
