I have been searching for a while and came to a hand full of choices for all my fluids, grease and lubes to get in order to do a full maintenance from the bottom. If you guys feel like jumping in to help me adjust my list, go right ahead.
Vehicle 95 LC 130k with Diff Locks, hardly been off road, will see some off roading after all is checked.
Synthetic is thinner, but better because it doesnt run off as much after sitting?? and Conventional is a bit thicker but runs off faster right? (this is one thing im still confused about and as to why synt is twice the price?)
Molly grease is for Friction/Sliding movements Low speeds
Lithium grease for Rolling bearings high speed applications
Engine Oil Manual says: 5W-30 (7.4qt)
I picked up: Shell Rotella 5W-40
Tranny Oil Manual says: ATF Dexron II/III (4.0qt)
I went to store couldnt find Dexron II/III do they not make it anymore? i saw Dexron IV and some other few different ones maybe ill keep looking to see if i can find II or III
Transfer Case Manual says: 75W-90 (1.8qt)
This is where Synthetic or Convensional choices were driving me crazy at the store, truck being 130k seems like it would be better not to go with w thinner Synthetic?
i was going to get Mobil 1 or Coastal
Front and Rear Differential Manual Says: 80W-90 (6.0qt both)
Transfer case says 75W and differential says 80W in the manual, but why not use same in both? Seems like it would elliminate another headache yes?
i was going to get Mobil 1 or Coastal
Wheel Bearings Manual says: Lithium base grease (hi-temp high speed)
There is a few options out there, i have found Amsoil hi-temp Red is a good option
Birfields Manual says: Molly base grease (heavy duty friction sliding)
I was thinking about HD Green Grease or Amsoil Moly HD purple grease. I might get these packed from a square hole on top, and grease up bearings later
Shaft Lube Manual says: Molly base grease (heavy duty friction sliding)
I tried moving my shaft, and it moves about .5-.75" or so, seems like it might be normal. But it feels like its dry. I will be dropping the shafts and getting them lubed.
I was thinking any type of Molly lube, just use what ever molly, amsoil red, mobil 1 valvoline
U-Joints Manual says: (im not sure...)
Im Guessing U-joints are Friction sliding since they dont have any bearing movement?? so im thinking pack them with any Molly and it should be good to go
Hopefully with some replys to this thread ill make my final decision on all the fluids grease choices
Edit:
My decision will be made here after more searching
