'95 YJ Fluid Change

All that sounds right on the money to me. :)

P.S. Just make sure he doesn't use a GL-5 gear lube in your transmission... have him get you some Redline MT-90... which is a synthetic... for your tranny.

Sounds good to me too.

Watch the tranny oil to make sure it isn't for diffs with the limited slip additive in it.

'I' find the best no leak results on the covers is when I let the RTV 'sensor safe' silicone set up for the 24 hours the package says before adding oil.

Oh and you can easily check all the fluids for water. It is silly to just change everything after a water crossing. I was in up to the tops of my 33's several times last week and just took a quick glance.

If the gear oil has any water, it will turn into a purple milkshake looking stinky goop instead of just plain stinky oil.

I'm changing the fluids because I just bought the YJ, not because of the water crossing. Thanks.

Ah, OK, I saw the water comment.

It is a good idea to change all the fluids on a 'new' Jeep as you are thinking then you have a base.

While you are under there you might want to find the stoopid button vent up on the tranny shift tower and change it over to a high water vent line like the t-case and diffs have. That way you aren't as likely to fill the tranny with water if the next crossing is an 'oh crap, that's deep' one....

I pulled mine out, it was plastic and hammered a piece of steel gas line in the vent hole to make a nipple for the line, then ran the line up by the battery where the t-case one is.

Steve.

My 96 XJ calls for synthetic in the rear diff when pulling a trailer so it's got to be better. Also you'll find the only to drain them is to remove the cover then you'll also see they were sealed with silicone.

Your guess is correct. Personally, I don't like MLM based "bizznes oportooniteeez" as most tend to be barely legal pyramid scams.

Never used the stuff myself, figure if it was that wonderful it would be stocked at the local auto parts stores and not sold like Amway. :)

Anyhoo, it's his vehicle, money, and choice.

No it's my vehicle, money, etc. Jerry suggested the Redline MT- 90. Any other recommendations for the fluid change. He'll use whatever I want.

Ah. In that case I'd belive Jerry. The dirt track folks I know use Redline products.
