    Hello.

    Has anyone experienced any high copper levels with their transfer case fluid change? 4wd 2018 TRD off-road.

    Should I be worried? Fluid was OEM. Does anyone have some reports I can compare to?

    See below.

    All of them.
    Says right in the description that it shouldn't be a issue if operation is normal. Put fresh fluid in and hammer down.

    It was a flush.
    They seem high. That’s why I’m asking. Look at the typical averages, however those are at around 27000. Still I have over triple the copper.

    Run the new stuff for 10k then take a sample and send it in. If it's acting fine I wouldn't worry tho.
