soon ill be doing a trans flush, front and rear diff change, transfer case, and oil change at my shop. i use Mobil 1 for engine oil, and for the diffs im going to use Mobil 1 75w-140 gear oil. but i was wondering what people are using for the transfer case and transmission, i wanted to use Mobil 1 but it doesn't specify that its atf+4 so what are u guys using? |

I was tired of looking for enough ATF+4 to do a flush and I broke down and got Autozone ATF+4....the guy told me it was made by valvoline but pfft, who knows. Guess I shoulda bought online. |

someone will probably grill me for this one i use castroil ATF4, its the only product they make that I'll use, i use mobil 1 oil/filter, mobil 75-140 with additive in the front and 75-90 purple sweetness in the rear i used to use 75-90 purple in the front but it whined, so i switched to 140 and it quit whining the rear probably whines a little but I don't hear it |

You forgot your brake fluid (DOT3/4/5.1) , power steering fluid (regular PS fluid, for your 2002) and coolant (Zerex G-05). Both tranny and t-case use ATF+4. I use Valvoline ATF+4. I use 75W90 in both the front and rear diffs. If you tow a lot or do frequent offroading, I would use 75W140. Engine oil. 5W30 Engine oil filter. I like to use either Napa Gold or Wix (same filter), or Purolator PUREONE filters. |

if you have a LSD in the front you need 4oz of the additive for LSD's if you don't use the lube that already has it in there like the royal purple stuff does i put a lil extra additive in the royal purple anyway, the additive will not harm or help open diff's, it's just complicated stuff for the clutches in limited slip diffs |

DC never offered a LSD in the front diff, only the rear. |

he asked why people kept mentioning additives in the front I should have elaborated with the statement: If you have a LSD in the front -- Due to the fact that you put a truetrac in there as quite a few of us have -- then you need additive thanks captain obvious

He means Trac-lock, not truetrac for the factroy rear limited slip. Look for a green tag on the left side of the axle tube by the backing plate.

alright thanks, if i have the limited-slip and use Mobil 1 75w-140, do i still need to add the friction modifier even though on Mobil 1's website it says it already contains the friction modifier for limited slip diffs? http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/Mot ... 140LS.aspx |
