You can use any 80w-90 gear oil for the rearend and front differential. Pretty sure you can use the same in the transfer case. A buddy of mine uses synthetic and claims he never has to touch it again.

On my 90 K1500, the transfer case uses Dextron-III tranny fluid. My 2000 Yukon takes Auto-Trak Fluid.

I am pretty sure it takes Dextron-III for the transfer case on a 97.

Use Dextron in the T/C. 80W-90 is fine for the frontend and rearend but NOT that transfer case. Add limited slip additive if you have one in the rear.

I've used their oil in my wifes Neon for a while now. Its great stuff. The car always had some lifter noise on startup until the oil warmed up ( all neons do). I put this stuff in along with their filter, while it was about 30F outside. Started it up and was completely quiet ever since. Havent tried their tranny fluid yet, but i feel real confident now about their stuff.
