Im curious, is this what the VOA was on that showed no additives?

Thank you, i kept hearing folks say other fluids. I think there is some confusion because there is a pentosin CHF11 fluid back there too and I think some were getting that confused with the actual gear oil.

Does anyone know what fluid goes in the rear diff of a 18 terrain. No mention of it in manual at all. Amsoil calls for power steering fluid but cannot find gm documentation anywhere. Strangely the dealership said they didn't know either. Any advice is appreciated.

Well i took everything back apart today and solved the problem. When working the choke back and forth, i could tell it wasn't smooth but seemed to be working. I took the choke cable off the carburetor and it was full of debris. I cleaned it up well and lubed it with a thin coat of oil. Smooth...

Thank you guys for the info. I took it out this last weekend for about 4 hrs to really evaluate it. Runs about perfect under any throttle but idling down hill or on slant, wants to die and sometimes will stall. I will pull it back apart this weekend and adjust very carefully. as well as check...

I have a grizzly that sat for about 4 years. The Carb was all gunked up and it would not run when i got around to running it. I pulled the carb out, cleaned everything up and reassembled it. Now the ATV starts right up and mostly runs fine but we have a new issue. If you go sideways on a slant...

I kind of agree with what some others said early on. If the mass just ignores the silly posts, they will naturally just fade away. If we just did not respond to posts they will go away. Even if your post is simply to tell someone to search. Just dont say anything and if people want real help...

I just happened to run across this post and decided to share my results with specific ATF for my vehicles. I own two kia optimas with the six speed transmission. one is a 12 that i bought used with 30K miles on it and the other i bought brand new. the 12 model i changed the atf with Halvoline...

I have a 12 suburban, 5.3L with 173K miles on it. It has the 4 cylinder mode. When i bought it, it had a small bit of engine ticking with Valvoline 5w30. The trans fluid and all the diffs were very dirty so i suspected the truck was not overly maintained. Being it was mid summer, i changed the...

Guys, I have a buddy that bought an suburban with the 5.3L engine in it. He told me he is running half a quart of kerosene in his engine for 500 miles. I advised him against it but he is convinced it is okay. Has anyone done this? I know its common to add a quart and bring the engine up to temp...

From what i have been seeing, there was two different products called oil treatment around that time. They were very different and came in different size bottles. The one is the small bottle was very thick , something like 100cSt at 100C and had very high concentration of Moly. The one in the 32...

Thanks MolaKule, I'm just trying to get the stuff used up and out of the way.
