Finally had a chance today to turn my first spanner on my Perenite-48264 FFW,
90000kms on speedo. I drained front diff oil to discover quicksilver..... no chucks, but oil metalic, flushed twice, then half tube nylon G70, then 80w90, rear diff was clean so repeated same treatment.
I have drained the gearbox, it was clean, unsure of oil grade to refill with, any recommendations appricated. Also need to do transfer case, can anyone recommend oil grade???
Thanks
Use 15/40 engine oil in both gearbox and transfer case.Quote:

Same as Brian said, 15w40 or you run the risk of destroying the box.
This gearbox has a small oil pump on the front - it will not pump 80w90 (or similar) on cold mornings, but will break its drive. Which will not become apparent until, thousands of kilometres later (or sooner when you ask it to work hard), you have to pull the box apart to investigate problems and find out why it needed an oil pump.Quote:

On reflection, I think I understand. I guess 15w40 is classed as a light 'engine' oil?
Thanks for all the replies, i knew when I drained it that it wasn't 80W90, but wasn't sure the correct grade, or more importantly why, anyone want to comment on 4bdi non turbo oil???
Again thanks to everyone:):):)

How do you change a light bulb in the front wing indicators?
Do the indicators push into the wing or are they bolted from the back?
Sorry, doubled up with this inquiry by mistake. I thought the post didn't work but it's on another Perentie thread!
My question has been answered.
Cheers, Mick.
What is the fuel capacity and what is the expected fuel economy of a Perentie?
