changing gear oil

Ticket-Me-Yellow · May 5th, 2007, 04:54 PM

ok how easy is it to change your gear oil? like where my posi traction is and 4.10 gear. If so what kinda oil do i need to use?

GreenFaleen · May 5th, 2007, 05:00 PM

If you just had posi and gears put in you don't need to change it for about 50000 miles

Ticket-Me-Yellow · May 5th, 2007, 05:01 PM

the guy told me to change it after 500 so just leave it its fine?

Ticket-Me-Yellow · May 5th, 2007, 05:02 PM

well after the first 500 miles and then im fine

GreenFaleen · May 5th, 2007, 05:04 PM

hmm well I would do it then, it isn't terribly hard but it is annoy i would personally pay someone to do it

HMUSN · May 5th, 2007, 05:08 PM

it's easy to do i have dome it many times

just take the 8 bolts off the case and pry off the plate.
all the fluid will come out.
take the old gasket off the plate and the pumpkin and apply more gasket.
put the plate back on hand tight until the new gasket is tacky.

then tighten it down the rest of teh way.

to fill it back up..

there is a reccessed plug in the back of the diff.
unscrew it and pump more fluid in.

easy as pie man.
i'll see if i can find a link for ya

HMUSN · May 5th, 2007, 05:28 PM

they don't make gaskets for our cars anymore.

they are bead on gaskets.

like gel type..

Ticket-Me-Yellow · May 5th, 2007, 05:30 PM

HMUSN · May 5th, 2007, 05:33 PM

5 bucks for the gasket bead

and whatever gear oil and friction modifier run you.
