Default Changing fluids...

Ok, so I am going to be changing all my fluids over to fully synthetic, already did my rear diff.

So now I need to change my transfer case fluids, transmission fluids, front differential, and what else?

What other fluids can I cahnge to fully synth. that'll actually make a difference?

Also, how much will changing over the tranny, transfer case, and front diff. change my gas mileage? Will it make it better? Even if I gain like .5 - 1mpg, it'll pay for itself in like one tank of gas.

Thanks..... :-)

Well if you haven't already done your oil you could do that.

The more I've been reading up on it, it looks like a manual transmission doesn't need to be flushed like an automatic does.. is this correct?

Someone enlighten me. From reading it says all I need to do to completely change my tranny fluid is to remove the tranny pan and drain it, and then fill er back up.

Oh snap! I knew I was forgetting the blinker and wash fluid...

Don't fool me with that flux capacitor Eric! I have two of em.. one under each seat, they are battery ran... not oil ran... silly man.
