Changing all fluids question

[Mrbinks79]

I've done a few searches and haven't found everything. If I wanted to change all my fluids. (rear end, front end, transfer, trans, antifreeze, and obviously oil.) How much of each fluid type do I need. I know I need 90weight for the rear, front, trans, not sure if the transfer case takes 90 or not. The antifreeze just need the quantity and what oil is suggested for a motor that has an unknown amount of miles. Any help would be great.

I buy 90w in a 5 gallon bucket. You can use it in the T-case as well. Make sure you can get your fill plugs out before you remove your drain plugs.

I will post up volumes for each of your housings when I get to my shop.


I use 20w50 in the motor but I live in California and it does not get that cold. I found that when I use 10w30 it tends to burn a bit of oil.

8.4 quarts?!? Does yours really take that much? My F only takes 6 quarts. Other than that the numbers look good.

Late 1975 they changed to a 2F and it has an oiler cooler.


The capacities came from the FSM and double checked in the haynes and Chilton manual.


I have yet to see an oil filter that hold 2 qrts so that is probably bleeding the oiler cooler system as well.

I have the 3 speed trans I'm sure that changes the amount. I also have a 4speed in the garage and it's much bigger.

There is always a controvery on the engine capacity. Just add until full in all housings and the engine.

My above post will get you close on how much oil to buy.

That's mainly what I was looking for was an idea of how much to buy. Don't want to have to return to the store for just a little that always sucks.

The Haynes Repair Manuals are excellent. Have FUn.
