Where's someone like Jeremiah when you need them?
Working on my Suzuki
Looks like everything's been covered. There's 4 places to change the oil: front diff, rear diff, trans & t-case. As said GL4 or yellow friendly GL5 must be used. I used a "yellow friendly" GL5. I'm not sure how much I trust the "yellow friendly" stuff, but GL4 is getting to be virtually impossible to find (I'm
guessing EPA is phasing out GL4?). I've read about people using "regular" GL5, and it's ate up the synchronous gears in a hurry. My synchs are shot, so I have to shift like a truck driver (no drag racing for me).
I use the hand pump. Takes forever, so schedule an hour or two for the job. Recruit your son for the pumping job. The gear oil smells like a sulfur plant took a doo doo (read: use your "shop clothes" when handling the stuff). On the diffs, just re-fill until the oil starts to come out. On the trans and T-case I believe there's a drain hole & a fill hole
I'd check the manual, but I'm not at home
Can anyone confirm
Next time I do this job, I should just take pics....
