how much to enter the park?

is yours 8v or 16v. I tried nulon 75-90 gl5 and it changed like a bag of s#$t then a replaced it with redline 75-90 gl4 it cost a fortune but she's back to changing smooth. There are cheaper options if you go to a oil manufacturers web site they normally have a tool to help select the correct oil

In mine the gearbox and transfer are separate. 4l will do both make sure you use gl4 gearbox fluid not gl5 as it will cause syncro damage also get the proper 10mm squire drive don't try and use a 3/8 ratchet to get the plugs out as they are soft ali and once damaged can be a pain in the ass. take ...

Hi guys
When my engine (g16a escudo) is running and you remove the oil cap the idle drops as if it is a about to stall.I can't find any obvious vacum leaks and engine otherwise runs well .Has anyone experanced a similar problem

Hey team

can any one recommend a place to buy the recommend 75w-85 gl4 gearbox oil for my escudo at a resonable price?.I recently changed out the old stuff for nulon 80w-90 gl5 and shes not loving it, finding it a little hard to get gears
cheers

cheers mate
could you recomend a rebuild kit and place to buy head bolts. Any common stuff ups i could avoid.

Hi
How much would you expect to pay to have a g16a out of a suzuki escudo rebuild from the ground up including new head. How hard would it be to do it a home. I have experance at replacing hole engines but have never pulled one to bits.
