Ok, I bought my dak a little over a year ago, and this winter while i'm not working I plan to change ALL the oils over.
Front and Rear Axles, tranny, and transfer case.
I'm nearing 100k miles, so i'm sure it's about time! Also, I work construction, so it gets used for a bit of off roading to get to jobs from time to time. Also will be getting a boat, so i won't be getting anything thinner than what's recommended.
HOWEVER
I can't find what weight oils i'm supposed to be using were... I found amounts, but not weights.
Can you guys help me out?

okay well...for differentials its 75W140 if you do any towing 75W90 if you dont do any towing. for the transfercase it takes the same fluid as your transmission ATF+4. Hope that helps!

 

what he said^ i used royal purple for my diffs. personal preference really.

 

wanna do mine while your at it?

 

Jkeaton what you need done?

 

I need to have the tranny flushed and do the transfer case/diffs. I'm just past 60k so it's time and I'm just too lazy...lol

 

bring it up here...i'll do the diffs in my driveway! lol

 

man i wish. thats like an 6-8 hour drive...lol....did you get your superchips tune installed?

 

yes I did...love the power but OMG the Gas consumption! got it on Fuelsaver now and i'm at 126 miles and only have used 1/4 of a tank! so yeah i'm gonna leave it on there! lol

 

lol i'm nearing 100k and i KNOW it's never been done.
Anyways, 75W90 may be too thin, even though i only tow a 20 foot boat every now and again (say, like 2-3 times a year, father in laws) just because of future reassurance. ( in case i buy my own boat... i live 2 minutes from the dock - just no $$$)
Assuming the lighter weight is better for MPG's, do you think I could do like a 75W100 or 120?
Was thinking of just ordering this all from Royal Purple myself.
