Transfer case maint.
Changed the fluid in the transfer case in our 2011 Chevy Silverado today - level was low - none coming out the fill plug. Got a little over a quart of fluid out. Just a little over 31,000 miles on the truck. Refilled with Castrol TranSynd - same that I put in the transmission. I think TranSynd will better than Dex VI that the manual calls for. I'll be checking the level in the transfer case a little more often now.
Didn't think of taking pictures of the drain plug but I found some on the internet that looked the same as mine. the nut is rusted more on mine though.
Drain pug looked like this:
