I'm looking at replacing all my lubricants to higher quality synthetics. Are there any other fluids besides Engine Oil, Transmission, and Differential Fluids I should replace?

2000 DII / 80K miles

 

Transfer case, power steering fluid and brake fluid should all be done at the same time...around 30k intervals. And if you haven't changed coolant in a while, should probably hit that while you're at it.

transfer case, power steering fluid, brake fluid.

I would check your blinker fluid too....

 

Thanks for the quick reply. Power steering, Brake and coolant have all been changed in the last 10K. Oh and by the way, I called the mechanic and the cost was way to high, so I guess I'll have to put off the Blinker fluid change.

 

If you have ACE, do it also. Plan on flushing the engine, ATF flush and an induction cleaning to inhance your performance.

Here is my list of stuff to do.

This is the parts list for a 60,000 mile service or a high mileage used truck, the way I do it.
1 Oil filter, K&N 3001 or Mobil 1
1 Air filter
6 Qts of engine oil
12 Qts of ATF
7 Qts of 80/90W synthetic gear oil
1 Qt of synthetic Brake fluid
2 Qts of synthetic Power steering fluid
2 Gallons of OAT, orange coolant
1 Bottle of Lucas Power Steering additive
1 Bottle of Lucas Transmission additive
1 Can of Spray Carb. Spray
1 Can Of Brake cleaner
8 Spark Plugs, I use Bosch Platium Plus 4's
1 Set of Magnacor 8mm plug wires
1 Serpentine belt
2 Bottles of SeaFoam gas additive
1 T/Stat


60,000 Mile Service or Major Service for High Mileage Used Vehicle just purchased

Bleed the brakes
Flush and change the power steering fluid adding one bottle of additive
Service the tranny adding one bottle of additive
Change the coolant and t/stat
Do an engine flush before changing the oil
Do an induction cleaning
Clean the throttle body
Add fuel additive to full gas tank
Change both of the diffs fluid
Change the t/case oil
Replace the plugs and wires
Replace the air filter
Lube all the drive shaft grease fitting including the 2 slip shafts
Do full inspection of brakes, hoses, bushings etc.

Hopefully I didn't leave anything out.

Coolant is supposed to be replaced every 30,000 miles. Most people dont realize it, check your owners manual and it will tell you everything you need to know.

 

Don't forget to change the air in your tires! lol.

 

Off topic, but I actually fooled a few people with the blinker fluid thing at work. My turn signals hold water terribly (I have new one's coming). I told them that it was actual blinker fluid. Rovers have to use it because with the poor design of Lucas electrics, the bulbs overheat. The fluid is used as a coolant. They actually bought it....

 

Well some day, I am going to have to tell a good story about muffler bearings and how they effect engine back pressure.

 

Hey folks! here's where you can order your Blinker Fluid. Enjoy.
