Ok, I was wondering if anyone could tell me the best fluids to use for the Transfer case, Manual Tranny, and Rear dif.

Also, I have a Jasper motor with approx 25k on it. What are the advantages of switching to a synthetic oil at this point and is there anything I should do prior to changing over?

Thanks for the help guys!!
