If the transfercase is supposed to use ATF, and your owner's manual will state what it needs, only use ATF. Never use gear oil or motor oil in a ATF application.

Never overfill a automatic transmission. It's worse than running it low on fluid.

I only use Genuine Mopar ATF+4.

That's an old wives tale. It's always best to change the fluid and filter.

Go with the deep aluminum pan. It should keep the fluid a little cooler than a comparable steel pan.

Upgrade to the ATF+4.

I use 85w140 in the front/rear diffs of my Jeep. This thicker gear oil usually comes from the factory in the rear diff of trucks/suvs that will see towing duty, so take that for what it's worth. I've had no problems with it. When cold it flows like a, well, 85w rather than a 80w. Go for it.

Here in the Chicagoland area, Menards sells 10W30 Rotella.

I've got 2 gallons of "SL" Rotella 10W30 in the garage. Anyone want to bid on these jugs of liquid gold?

Yep, I get my Rotella 10W30 at Menards.

Sorry bub, just reading what it says on the bottle. I can scan it for you if you'd like. There is no proof that ZDDP will in fact cause catalytic converter or even O2 sensor degragation at all. It is in fact just all speculation and conjecture. There was just a blurb about this in the latest...

You still need to run a "heavier duty" ZDDP fortified oil in these type of engines regardless if the cam is broken in already or not. If HDEO/Diesel doesn't evoke thoughts of high performance, then a specialized high performance oil from Redline or Royal Purple should substitute for long cam and...

I stand by what I said and no I'm not ignorant. Thanks though. Read up on high performance engines using flat tappet cams that have had cam lobe/lifter failure with the latest and greatest API certified oils AND THEN get back to me. Remember, the original topic here is MUSCLECARS and HDEO. All...

With all of the "hit or miss" information about VW/Audi oil change intervals, anyone with one of these vehicles, whether it be gas or diesel, should just change the oil and filter every 5,000 miles and be done with it.

I stopped using Clean 5000 10W30 and have since replaced it with 10W30 Rotella T HDEO.

Any "musclecar" built in the USA before 1975 will not have a catalytic converter. Even if they did, HDEO wouldn't hurt it. These oils are rated SL for use in gasoline burning engines

"Hi. I have always wondered whether the excessive zinc in diesel oil would shorten the life of the catalytic convertor. Any idea? Any "musclecar" built before 1975 will not have a catalytic converter. Even if they did, HDEO wouldn't hurt it. These oils are rated SL for use in gasoline burning...

Using HDEO in gasoline engines will not hurt the O2 sensors nor the catalytic converter. These oils are rated SL for use in gasoline engines, so I can't understand why someone would think they'd hurt anything.

Good stuff. I found this at Menards and have since bought a ton of it to use in my 97 Jeep TJ 4.0. It was $8 and some change for a gallon jug.

Forgot to add that if I was in the market for a used Jetta, I'd get a Shadow Blue 03/04 VR6 GLX with tiptronic, the optional 17 "long beach" rims with 225/45/17 tires, black leather....... [ July 04, 2006, 11:38 AM: Message edited by: 99 ]
