    Oil change hacks?

    i need these valves... just changed oil in both my 470 and 460 this weekend. 470 was pretty smooth, but for some reason i got oil everywhere when draining the 460. needless to say, the family had a good laugh.

    Fluids! Diffs, Transmission, & T-case...

    hey hey! what's your thought on tranny oil cost? the link i sent was for amsoil signature series... that's $60 per gallon. the valvoline equivalent is about half the cost.... any suggestions?

    Yes OEM is always option #1... That's said, I replaced mine with Cardone 665235HD from Rock Auto. My friend did the same... So far so good.

    Opinions needed- GX470 as family carrying daily driver, too old?

    Looks like I will be selling the 470.

    there's no way the 460 forum will be as good as us! they're all elitists (j/k!) sorry, i dont have a clue what to recommend for pricing... maybe just keep it? so basically, my wife drives a 460 and i drive a 470... my son will be driving in about 5 years, so my intention is to inherit my...
