diffs, transfer and gearbox oil types and capacities gutd42

[gu town]

It has to be covered but I can't find it in the bible or searching.

Can someone write me a shopping list to change out all of my driveline oils please, including your preferrance of oil brands, a pump or a syringe and litreage too?

2000 GU TD42 ute. standard driveline. LSD rear, open front, gearbox and transfer.

I havent changed them all in way too long.

My gearbox is making that wierd grinding noise that alot of GU gearboxes seem to make when idling around, should it quiet it down a bit or is it something else?

hey mate iv'e got a castrol book at home and it rekons for your patrol



the gearbox takes castrol vmx-m - 4 litres

transfer takes castrol tq diii - 2 litres

rear diff takes castrol lsx 85w140 - bit over 2 litres


front diff takes epx 80w90 - nearly 6 litres



not sure about the noise in the box maybe bearing? oil change wouldnt hurt though

Thanks again.

Just looking at a manual and the rear diff on a ute takes 4.7ltrs.

That would only be the H260 rear diff on leaf sprung models. Coil utes are the same as most wagons.

Some wagons have the bigger rear diff too. Not sure which
