Will 7ltrs of oil be enough to do an oil change without replacing the filter on a GUII ZD30?

Does the lever move easily or is there some resistance??? You need to move it about 3-4" rearward to engage low. In between is neutral - where you will have no drive at all. Have you moved it that far? It moves with some resitance and yes bout 3-4" past neutral is correct, but you can feel the ...

Sounds like you are only engaging the diff lock. Engage low range by pulling the lever back (in the direction of the rear of the vehicle....), not sideways. Diff lock and the gear change are completely independent and have nothing to do with each other. You might want to try reading the owner's ...

Most of the time you have to select reverse then neutral to get the transfer into low.
Once shifter is in low range you can still drive like normal forward or reverse,
if feels like no change at all from High Range
