Another question as I build my ability to do my own maintenance, and navigate the FSM, first the easy stuff though. My wife had the cruiser out today, and the oil light came on so she pulled into jiffy-lube, she called me and i said STOP!!!!!! they wanted to do the diffs, trans box and everything. I wanted to be sure just WHAT to put in there, not some generic crap. Anyhow anyone got the best answers.
I am running Synthetic oil, PO switched it over, and he used castrol 5w50, I've only put 4k on it in the past year, as it's a vacation rig and I ride a motorcyce most days. it's time to do the fluids.
So I'm looking for:
synthetic oil recommendations-currently castrol 5w/50
Front & Rear dif lube
Trans box lube
knuckle grease-molebdinum disulphide? need a grease gun?
and any other lubricants that should be in the garage and used for regular maintenance.
Thanks, so far the OME install went smooth, as did the breather work, and I'm having a heck of a good time.
