Wow - that's pretty wacky. The archaic Borg Warner part time 4WD transfer case i got BW44-46 still gets ATF, but holds 2 quarts. Seems like a reasonable quantity for a chain drive. I've never had one fail - been driving them for 30+ years.
Yes, any xfer case that doesnt use clutches will work fine maybe even with water
Just like how the factory LSD needs additive in the gear oil (for the clutches), the 44-44 xfer case is similar.
I think the confusion now comes from the fact that they are spec-ing the same fluid for non 44-44 cases as well. But honestly its not any different than using synthetic gear oil in LSD and non-LSD differentials. It will work fine in both applications.
