Title: Correct spec for Autobox Oil
Post by Johnboy on Feb 27^th, 2007, 12:30pm

I am going to give the oil in my autobox on my 2.3 '98 a well earned change this weekend.
I have ordered a new filter and gasket, but what is the correct spec. of gear oil and of what quantity. I believe i need to "purge" the torque convertor as well.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks

John

I'll be doing mine too, very shortly.

Is it a sod to do? I have trolley jack and stands only.

Can get Dextron III ATF free though ;D Drive heavy plant (earthmoving) for a living and they all run Dex3 in the transmissions...

MMmmm, if possible front wheel ramps would be better than axle stands.

Very messy though, wear your swimming cap.

If you do the job, remember that it is very important to get as much fluid as possible up your sleeve.

If you don't do this then the job has not been done properly.

Well used to this. Have frequently had sleeves full of:

Red Diesel (fuel tank outlet on 30Ton dumptruck)
Hydraulic Oil (hoses and filters on shovels)
Red lithium grease (AutoGreasers, stains you red and makes you look like a murderer)

10 years on Heavy Plant.... ;)
