...the manual in your glove box tells you when to change it saied. check the back of the manual or even the service manual booklet.

What kinda oil to use? any suggestions!

Fire_Fighter786 · Posted: Thu Mar 22, 2007 3:19 pm Post subject:

i usually drive out my driveway in the morning (An Incline) i use the 4L. when i get to the pavement i put back on 2H and lock full left to drive off. then sometimes i does hear a kinda clanking sound and feel like the van holding back for a few feet before straightening out and it goes back normal again. Ever happened to anyone? and what you guys make of this? Question

Saeid... that clanking sound is the front wheels disengaging and I believe it comes from the transfer case.... nothing to worry about man.

With regards to the oils, there are places that changes it for you. I guess they would use whatever they have. I've heard Belray has a good gearbox oil available. I'm not sure about the diff oil, but if I was changing I'd just use a good brand diff oil. I believe Master Serv does it and any other smaller service stations would as well.

^correct is right Mr. Green

however, the manual recommends that you reverse a few feet after changing from 4wd to 2wd to ensure disengagment.

.....read your manual saied, alot of the questions are answered in there.
