I see that you are missing a socket right there!

Just all the 10mm sockets......

I changed he fluid on my 2016 Explorer Sport today. When I tried to remove the vent cap, I pulled the vent hose off of the top of the transfer case. I was able to just put a new 5/16" hose the entire length now. I drained about 11 ounces and refilled with about 12 ounces. From what I've read, most drain about 15 ounces. I had the front of my Explorer up on ramps. Not sure if mine was low on fluid or if the incline was the reason for the less fluid drained? The fluid was dark and the magnet had some small metal filings. Comments/suggestions?

Hats off to you! I knew that I'd never get to it. Paid the dealer to change the oil.

It took a long long long time for the new lube to make it's way into the transfer case. It was like watching the hour hand on a clock. So I decided to start the engine to warm everything up and drive forward and backward in and out of my garage and that seemed to help. I'm just concerned that I didn't get the normal amount of lube drained out. I put back a little more than I drained out.

Was there a drain plug on yours? Cause mine is a 16 sport too and a drain plug would be nice.

Yes, there is a drain plug. I think it was 1/8" NPT. Very difficult to get to. I had to use a short handle Allen wrench. I ended up adding a few more ounces for good measure. Not sure what the ramifications of over filling it are.
