teabag Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Your Owner's Handbook will tell you what grades to use and the oil companies have a search facility on their sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 From new, engine oil should be 5/30, but if you've done a lot of miles, then something a wee bit thicker - up to a max of 15/30. Gearbox is Dextron II or III,( but you can use MTF94 if have the money ) transfer box is EP80/90, both axles are EP80/90. I would put One Shot grease in the swivel housings, but if it's already in there, then there's no replacement interval for it. If your swivel housings are a bit leaky, then top them up only. Power steering is ATF (use the same stuff that you put in the gearbox). Brake fluid is DOT4. Anti-freeze - use what you already have in there to a max of 50% dilution. I just put 2.5 litres in the system and then fill it. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
