Default Disco Oil

Took this out of my rover's transfer case, and finally am able to get pictures up (said i would in the "reliability" thread)

I couldn't believe my eyes, and the stuff felt like water... it was amazing my transfer case didn't get torn up (no metal chunks or anything came out, a few filings)




this is a perfect example on why when you get your disco, you do EVERY maintenance task you can think of

Amen.
Unless you have reciepts you have no idea what was/was not done to the truck before you.

People think I'm nuts because not only do I save receipts fr the service I have done, if I can't do it myself, but also for every part I buy. I have a stack of AB invoices in my glove box along with mechanic receipts.

That's what my rear diff looked like. It might bea good idea to run some cheap oil in it for a trip or two and change it back out while the fluid is still warm.

I should have done this, but I was so pissed at how much of a pain it was to change the oil (didn't have a pump, was literally dumping the oil in through a tube by squeezing the bottle)

When it is warm, I will be putting in the redline shockproof in the transfer case and gear oil in the diffs
