Recently pulled 10oz of ptu fluid and replaced with Royal purple 75/140
Recent GH tune
Wife took car to Georgia ,approx.5 hour drive,when she got back home she said the "awd off" message displayed a few times ,she clicked "ok" and kept driving .She just told me this today,I'm curious if maybe I didn't add enough gear oil to ptu or could this be tune related ?Gonna get in and check the PTU today but since 8 can't suck all the oil out not sure how much to add or if this is even the problem.

Did you happen to check for Codes! Do you happen to have the Performance package! Need to add close to the same amount of PTU FLUID that came out. Z

Fill till the gear oil comes out the fill hole is the gold standard.  Def check codes.

Did the SHO get driven through heavy rain or run thru a high pressure carwash w underbody cleaning?  There could be dirt/grime/moisture in the connector for the ATC/RDU.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

He doesn't mention he only replaced what he pulled out. He didn't put back in a full 18oz. Just watched him rage at someone on Facebook for saying the rest probably turned into mush lol

It probably did turn into mush.  The lifetime fluid has the propensity to do that.  Z and Shodded are right, fill it till it starts coming out of the fill hole.  Make sure the vent is secure, along with the fill plug.  Then like a mail man, SEND IT!

I pulled about 10oz out and put 10oz back in like I've been told,I followed advice and appreciated it,nobody wants to really seek advice then get hammered .if I should fill till it overflows slightly then that's what I will do ,I don't usually sit around and fight on the internet,In the Jeep groups I'm in I help out and don't chastize or assume someone doesn't know anything,each vehicle has its differences and I've been through a few,I think one guys just told me to take it to the dealer etc

Social media is a real crapshoot.  Since messaging occurs rapidfire, a lot of folks leave their filters off.  Can get ugly real fast.

It happens on this forum on occassion, but thankfully our members keep it to a minimum :)

It's the internet, don't take what most people say seriously. No need to rage on people trying to help. Guys here are very knowledgeable and will help you. Like many have told you fill it until it comes out of the filler hole and all should be good. You talked down to 2 people on here already. Do you think people want to jump to help you when you talked down to them? Treat people how you want to be treated.

I usually just talk to friends face to face,stuff like that doesn't happen that way ,unfortunately unlike the Jeeps and off-road rigs I usually deal with this is a special car with little things like the ptu I don't normally deal with .
