My ute has been doing low mileage since I bought it, all on road, but is now due for a 5000km oil change, the first since I changed all fluids & filters when I bought it. (Although it hasn't been driven much, it has always been brought up to operating temperature whenever started).
At that time (164,000kms) I used the following:
Engine - Penrite HPR 15w50 Diesel 10.5 litres
Gearbox - Nulon 75w90 semi synthetic - 2.9 litres + Nulon G70 PTFE gearbox additive
Transmission case - Nulon 75w90 semi synthetic - 1.6 litres
Front diff - Nulon 80w90 - 5.5 litres
Rear Diff - Nulon 85w140 Limited Slip - 5.5 litres
Coolant - 'Long life' coolant - 250,000kms/5 years
Brake fluid - flushed & bled
Fuel filter - Ryco Z332
Oil filters 2 x Ryco Z503
Air Filter - A1412
On this occasion I am thinking that just changing the engine oil & oil filters should be sufficient.
Anyone have different thoughts? How often do you change oil? Do you change filters every time you change the oil? How often do you change fuel filters?
(Btw next time I change the gearbox oil I might try ATF. With the 75W90 - in cold weather if I don't leave the motor idling for a while after starting to warm things up changing gear can be very difficult, fine once warmed up though.)
Thanks
