Best Oils??

[Tas GQ]

G'day, i just bought a GQ and I want to change all my oils (engine, diffs, gearbox, transfer case) plus filters and coolant for piece of mind. The guy i bought it from said he was using Caltex Delo in the engine from a search i did on this site the Delo seems popular. What should i use else where? Just wanting to hear a few opinions on this. It is a 90 model td42 that's had a DTS turbo kit put on and an intercooler. Thanks in advance Cheers Richard.

Can't help with the engine oil as mines a petrol.
For rear diff I use Penrite limslip diff 85-140W hypoid gear oil, front diff 80-90w hypoid gear oil.
Transfer case 80-90w gear oil.

Tassie,
If you've got the time and want to stick with say Caltex (which I've been getting from an independent fuel supplier for years) a call to the Caltex help desk and a yarn with their experts is quite helpful.

Also mate look up "preventative maintenance" on the search button. A great detailed thread by tony about a lot of your questions too mate.

Caltex delo or shell rimula is good. Just make sure it meets the nissan jaso dh spec in the manual. I can't remember the exact spec, on phone.
