Hello
I have a few days off due to the holiday weekend (in the USA) and I want to do something productive and swap out all the fluids that I haven’t gotten around to ever since getting my KZJ78. I have a few questions and I want to ask help for those more experienced in these type of cases.
Fluid List:
Transmission: I want to use Valvoline Max Life (full synthetic), 15L capacity. Is this a good choice? I already switched to full synthetic (Rotella T6) for my engine.
Transfer Box: SAE 75W-90. 2.2L capacity. What is a good brand to go with?
Front/Rear Axles: 80W-90. About 4L (until full). What is a good gear oil to go with?
I’ve never done any of the above fluid changes before. Is there something based on your experience that I should be aware of? Do I need to buy any gaskets/bolts/washers to replace?
Based on other things I’ve done to the rig, I’ll be willing to bet the fluids above haven’t been changed in a good while. Other things that I intend on getting done this long weekend is spray my whole undercarriage with PB Surface Shield and finally fixing the “Toyota Lean” on my rear springs with the help of a Dobinsons 20mm spacer. Thank you for your time in reading this, I’d appreciate any advice you have. Have a great day and God bless.
Picture for attention.
