AK04SS Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 hey everyone, i have a friend who's going to change out my tranny fluid and front and rear diff fluids. what are some good fluids to replace them with? i was thinking of mobile 1. and is there a special kinda of fluid for the rear diff since it's an LSD? should i just stick with OEM and get everything from the dealership? the reason i'm having a friend do it is cause he works at a mechanic shop. if it wasn't so cold right now, i would do it myself. thanks!

ItsJac Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 I put mobil 1 gear oil in the front, rear and mobil 1 trans fuild in the transfer case... No problem what so ever... The only thing thats not mobil1 is th tranny as it took to many quarts and the time I didnt have the extra cash... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Mobil 1 will work great, but don't put any additive in the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 I followed the Mr. P "how to post" on changing all the fluids. I went with the Auto Trak II in the T-case, Mobil 1 in the front and rear diffs. But I started getting a lot of noise in the front diff. I thought I had gone too thin with the synthetic gear lube. so I drained out a quart and added Lucus HD gear fluid. and wow It got Quieter and feels better. I know thicker fluid is going to give me more parasitic drag and all that but I could not stand the sound! In the Tranny I switched out to the Mobil 1 and noticed it is a bit thinner, I want to try the Ford ATF and see what that does. Others have called this a "shift kit in a bottle" anyone had any success or information on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
