Thread: What did you do on your Perentie Today.

Gave the prototype the acid test

Another view

I changed oils in the Diffs, Transfer Case, Gear Box and Engine today. Front diff was a little old looking, rear diff was the colour of honey and transparent, transfer case was good, engine was black as diesel is, the gear box was ok however, have a look at the magnetic drain bolt (looks like a)! I put the Nulon G70 into the diffs, transfer and gear box and I have to say that the gear changes are already much smoother. Thank you to all at AULRO as it was your knowledge that allowed me to do this. Thank you, Grant

Hi Grant, Don't worry about that crud on the gearbox magnet, it is normal. If you rub it been your fingers it wont even feel abrasive. Cheers..Brian

Thank you Brian, I did just that, when I first saw it I was a little worried, after I washed it in petrol (that's when I took the photo) you couldn't even feel it. All good, should get me to Camden next Saturday now!

Next easiest to obtain is Donaldson P550422. Repco can order these in. Around $50-ish.

I don't have the fuel filter info on hand, but it is posted in the Isuzu thread somewhere. Possibly a sticky topic.

Ryco 419
