    I've ran both dextron and ATF+4 for transfer case fluids. Beast with 495k miles I've never had any issues including summer heat in Arizona. Only had to reseal the case once.

Ram recommends the use of a licensed ATF+4® MS-9602 specification fluid for the NV241, NV243, NV244, NV271, and NV273 type transfer case fluid change.   

Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is often used in transfer cases because it handles hydraulic pressure well and works in a wide range of temperatures.

You could use some synthetic ATF+4 like Royal Purple or Valvoline. 

Note: All ATF+4 in all synthetic oil and brand name doesn't matter. All have the same specs minimum wise. NAPA ATF+4 is just the same and half the cost at times.
