When i put my truck into 4 hi and if the tires spin or i just drive it every 30 seconds or so the front tires make a noise as if the front tires are slipping.

So i decided to check the transfer case lubricant, when i drained it barely any fluid came out and what did looked like oil and its suppose to take transmission fluid.

Any idea on what i can do about it?
I was thinking about trying lucus oil but not sure if thats aloud to go in transfer case or should i try just draining it again?

Hi:
If it was that low and dirty, refill it and run it for around a hundred miles or so. Then, drain it and refill it. It should be ok after that.

Let me know if this helps.
