search nv4500 fluid or gear oil. lots to read about. you supposed to use the syntourq, and i dunno how many quarts. seems like 4 or 5 but check me on that, also a little extra isn't gonna hurt here. also, lots of guys have luck using other fluids like royal purple, castrol, and penzoil. so read a little bit and see which route your gonna take.

GL-4 only for NV4500. Gallon to fill, 5 quarts won't hurt it. T-case doesn't really matter as long as its full.

GL-4 is the one. Here is ours:AMSOIL - Synthetic Manual Transmission and Transaxle Gear Lube 75W-90 (MTG)

I can get you pricing if interested.

As for tcase, use ATF.

I use amsoil and overfill by a quart. Quiets it down quite a bit.
