Hi All
I have just bought my first Safari. 1991 TD42 Manual LWB with PTO winch. Now I want to do a complete change of all fluids as I do this with all vehicles that I buy and this one has spent the last 2 years parked up under some trees (Took 1.5 days to clean the paint work up).
What I need to know is what is the recomened oil spec for the motor,gear box and transfer, diffs (rear is LSD) and the PTO.

Cheers

I use the stuff from the castrol lube guide...see above. Castrol Tection? global es 15w-40 is good in the engine. Been running that for the past 4-5 services.
Mobil Delvac was the best in my experience but it seems to be getting more and more pricey.

Tried sinopec 15w-40 in a GQ a while ago and it was shit. Was thin like water after 3 months of daily town driving to work and back. Won't touch it again.

if the pto winch is worm drive then need to use the proper oil.
moreys make a range of oils for worm drives and its same price as engine oil.
