So I did something stupid while changing my oil (98 Durango)...I unscrewed what I thought was the oil pan plug, but was (I determined after some research) actually a plug on the transfer case. Some oil came out. The confusing part is it wasn't the transfer case drain plug, it was something else...I can't figure out what it is (it's the bolt with the arrow pointing to it on the diagram below). I tried to check the fluid level using the fill (or drain) plug but it was too tight and I couldn't get it loose. Also, do you only use the transfer case for 4-wheel drive? Assuming there is now not enough/any lubricant in the transfer case, is it OK to drive with only 2-wheel drive?
Any help appreciated (I can even handle a couple of "that was really dumb"s)!
