You don't need a pump with amsoil ss bags, see if these will work, guys on the board have used these...

I don't know if Valvoline makes a spec fluid to address this particular TC. I can say they have been A+++ in answering inquiries. I've used their products for YEARS because they've been great to deal with and I trust that when they say "this meets XYZ spec...", it's true. I've never had a fluid-based failure in my over 2M of accumulated driving on personal/work vehicles (nor any that I've been overseeing in a fleet). I don't get anything out of saying such, I just believe in their products and find them to be a great alternative to OEM robbery. If money isn't an issue, by all means, run that OEM stuff

Following up to my prior post, I don't see anything called out by them for the 4WD Auto TC (BW44-44) in the current info I have. Might be worth emailing them and asking.

I used Amsoil on my 2016. It actually SAYS BW 44-44 on the Amsoil site. It's worked fine in the snow, I'll use it again next time.

Those easy packs are the work of a genius. Makes filling tcases and diffs so much easier.

I’ve got a 2016 ram 1500 Bighorn w/ 5.7L and Auto 4WD. Just did the fluid change today. Dealership sold me 2 qts at $60 apiece !! I forgot the part# (maybe 68049954AC, I remember it ended w/ AC), but the label read “Transfer Case Fluid for BW 44-40 & 44-44 for 2016+”.

Only took 1.5 qts… considered selling the other half on eBay since it seems a pity to waste liquid gold.

Even asked the parts guy, is this the stuff with unicorn tears that I can’t get find anywhere else? He just grinned.

Here’s a picture of the label on the bottle.

Hey guys,

Looking to do a fluid swap in my t-case this week. I’ve read that guys are running Amsoil MVATF without issue. That fluid seems a bit tough to find where I am so I’m wondering if anyone has tried Valvoline MaxLife ATF in their 44-44. Got a few bottles of it on the shelf in my garage so would be great if that was a working fluid for these cases.

Thanks

They will ship it to you no need to go anywhere.I used amsoil on both diffs trans.and transfer case 20 k ago no regrets.Its great to have it delivered for free ,but I always do a large quantity for 3 cars and a truck.I use a lot.

Truth.

Truth.

They are but you can still get the gallons for cheaper.

Red Line has listed on their site MT-LV 70W/75W GL-4 for my 2014 1500 transfer case

I emailed Valvoline about their transfer case fluids and they replied quickly!

Valvoline Multi-Vehicle (TCF) Conventional Transfer Case Fluid - Valvoline™ Global

If you have a truck, SUV or vehicle equipped with all-wheel or four-wheel drive, you need a hard-working fluid to help keep your transfer case doing its job...

I've always used Mopar unicorn tear for my 2017 with the auto button and redline diff fluid. Ive been using this cocktail at 40k mile interval.

Next time I will use amsoil because of the easy pack. Its $220cad shipped which is a great deal.

Those 2016-later models must be something special to require such premium fluid

Possibly, but I wish I had at the more durable bw45 tcase.

It's a very easy swap.

I bought mine on eBay for a couple hundred $. It's been working great since Installed it, in 2018.

How difficult can we make this..? Doh…

Changed the fluids this week, no issues. Diffs and TC. First time doing it. All fluids were pretty clear so that's good. Probably could've gone another 50k before changing haha. The truck has 54k on it and I don't think they've ever been changed, unless the dealer did it before sold to us with 27k on it 3 years ago. I doubt they would do that but who knows. One thing I noticed with the TC the fluid was a brownish/tanish color. I was expecting reddish color but hey the Redline stuff going back in was the same color so that was a good confirmation.

Did you have any trouble with the Redline in the TC?

I never have, it is just fine.
