Here's my opinion of the delvac 40 in the g56. I'm running 6.5 Liters. In the summer months it shift beautifully. This summer when camping on the west coast, the temperature dropped down to 12 celsius. I had difficulty switching from first to second. It comes out of gear fine, but doesn't go in...

I’m in Canada but I don’t drive my truck in the winter. It will see a few weeks of below freezing temps when I’ll be towing with it up north for a moose hunting trip. My truck is stock and I drive it pretty gentle. I just ordered the delvac 40 transmission fluid. I had to order a 5 gallon pail...

I’m bumping this thread up. Has anyone tried the delvac 40 synthetic trans oil in their Cummins g56? I’m also considering Torco rtf but it’s really expensive. I’m in Canada.

Thanks occity. I'm in Canada and i quickly looked to see if they were readily available. Not looking so good. The bel ray was $21 for a litre, the mystik, couldn't find it yet. Would you recommend one over the other? So basically i need an ashless oil for my outboard? If those 2 are some of the...

Hey guys, i'm just wondering if it would be benificial to run Shell Nautilus pwc oil in my yamaha premix outboard? It's api-tc and jaso-fc rated, full synthetic. As far as i understand isn't Jaso far superior to the old tcw3 rating. I currently run yamalube in my yamaha 15hp 2 stroke at 50:1 and...

Ok, well it sounds like both will work well. Would the synthetic offer any longer change intervals or a slight increase in mpg? According to the bottle of the shell product it says 500000 miler change inerval for eaton diffs in big rigs. Toyota recommends 30k mile change inervals i think. I'll...

I'm about to do a third member swap (rear diff) in my 97 tacoma soon, so i went out looking for some gear oil. Toyota specs 75w90 gl4 or 5 for both diffs. I had a hard time finding 1 litre containers, so i initially went with royal purple gear oil for $11 a litre. I was driving around today and...

I'm using the old mx2t also in my cr250 and it runs perfect. I probably have 75 hours on my piston and still lots of compression and power. Very good oil. I think i still have a complete case of 12 left. Glad i stocked up.

I went through my whole bike (cr250) and used some german grease that came in a little yellow and blue plastic squeeze package. I can't remember the name, but the suzuki dealer here recommended it. What i found with greasing dirtbikes is doing it frequently. It's a pain to take the rear swingarm...

Ok, just checked my manual and it specs either a gl4 or gl5 75w90 fluid. I should be fine right??

Thanks for the replies guys. Ok, so what would cause the tranny to whine while in first gear. I never noticed it before, but now it whines as though it's in reverse. It's especially noticeable if you press in the clutch while coasting in first. Also, i used mt90 in the transfer case too because...

Hey guys, i have a 97 Toyota Tacoma with the 2.7 and w59 5spd tranny. I just swapped out the transfer case and tranny to redline mt90 with the correct amounts in both. I don't know what the truck had in it before, but it didn't look bad. The truck has 92k miles and is in good shape. After the...

I have a tacoma 4wd as well and i'm looking for some grease for the u joints and various lube points on the truck. After reading a little on the moly thread just down a page i figure i might give the caterpiller moly 5 grease a try. If anyone can steer me away i would be happy to hear it.

If foam is a poor filter medium, then why do all offroad motrocycles and motocross bikes use them? They see the highest level of dust and dirt around.

Well i've already bought my block heater and it's a little thing that goes in the frost plug hole. I guess i'll call Toyota and find out which hole is optimal, but i'm sure hoping it's the most frontal positioned one because it's got the easiest access. So when you guys say use a punch on one...
