I have it on a lift twice a year. Once for annual inspection. Other for oil change. I do them 6 months from each other so its always getting a checkover.
For example. I bought this truck 5 years ago. 2 days after buying it i replaced every single fluid in it. The entire drivetrain has mobil 1 in it. Like like stated its now been 5 years. And only maybe 7000 miles. Should i just be changing it anyways due to age?
Or should i be putting...
Not really sure what to title this as.
But the question is, on a truck thats not driven much. Maybe only 1500-2000 miles a year but towing that entire time.
Whats better for the trans/t-case and diffs.
Great fluids changed at milage intervals regardless of time.
Like ams, redline or...
Using up the left overs from my truck. And we live in a northern cold climate. Dont really want to do straight 5w30 since it does a lot of short trips.
this service fill i used valvoline advanced. 50/50 mix of 0w20 and 5w30. And the new carquest “ep” filter.
Engine runs way quieter with this combo.
We’ll see how it does.
We bought it cheap used and the motor failed shortly after. So i replaced that.
Now 70k later transmission went out. So i replaced that too lol. Still only into this thing for 1/4 what a new van costs so not complaining. Just want to make sure im doing the right thing for it going forward.
