Fury diff/gbox drain plugs

Post by danos »

Should I be seeing ultra fine metal paste on the magnet of the drain plug when I change the diff and gearbox oils?

I use castrol LSX90 and Multitrax in diff and gearbox.

98 3L diesel hilux

sounds about normal for most vehicles. Makes you realise how much of a good idea the magnetic drain plugs are. Not sure about the hilux, but patrol has a hole in the middle of the drain plug which pretty much fills up between oil changes, and the ol' 40 series i had used to have a thick coating of metalic "fur" during a normal change.

Just watch for chunks, thats when the problems start.

When you change the oil, just remember to top up the fur as well...
