Title: What Oils? Please advise
Post by: fesuvious on November 10, 2007, 21:32:53
Tomorrow I have decided to change the oils ( not engine ) in the missus' road going vitara...

However, I can't find the owners manual and havn't a clue what type of oil to use in:

Diffs
Transfer box
GearBox.

Can anyone please advise?

Also, is there anywhere that would sell the track rod ends already made up with the ball joints fitted ? The steering is vague at best. I suspect its the ball joints as both at the hub ends seem to be shot

Any advice much appreciated

I figured ep90 for the diffs but wanted to be sure,

AND (!) anyone got any tips for an additive to add into the gearbox to try to shut up a noisy fifth gear?
