Newbe questions

Post by grim_reaper »

I have just bought a 1998 isuzu wizard 3.0 diesel auto. Ive started to service it, but on the front and rear diff's i can find the fill hole/bung but no obvious drain hole/bung, do you need to suck out the old oil via the fill hole?

2nd, what grade oil do i need to use in the front & rear diff's and transfercase?

3rd. Any issues or problems i need to be aware of with this vehicle?

Cheer's.

I know some Isuzus came with Dana differentials, if that is the case then you have to remove the differential cover to drain and clean the insides. Put the cover back on and then fill using the fill hole (essentially that is the proces).

I run a Jeep, so can't comment about other stuff. I know about Dana diffs because Jeeps run Dana diffs (mostly).
