tb42 gas turbo, servicing (oils etc)

Post by 4wdnut »

hey guys, gunna do a bit of a service on the mav now that i have it.

just wondering what oils everyone uses, the turbo is running about 7psi if that makes any difference.

looking for advice on:

engine oil (engine has about 230 on it)
gearbox oil (5 spd manual)
front and rear diff (standard as far as i am aware)
plugs and leads? being straight gas should i be using normal spark plugs?

anything else people change regularly?

thanks

oh, forgot to mention transfer case oil too. does it differ to gearbox oil?

is there a difference between front and rear diff oils?

just finished doing a massive search via google and gained further confusion.

and outerlimits wont let me search so you cant flame me for that.

thanks again..

I use the same oils in the diffs and gearboxes etc,
but use the best quality I can in the engine, and I now change the engine oil and filter every 5000 kays just because its turbo now.
