Thread: New owner questions:

The Isuzu in the Landy only has a single oil filter and Ryco do not make one to suit, nor do Isuzu, however Cummins/Fleetguard do (LF 3642).

I went to my local R&E auto, and they provided me with a nippon brand Z419.
It fits but it 20mm shorter than the original.

I've since changed engine, gearbox and transfer oil. with 15W40 Castrol GTX
Also greased the uni joints.

Next on the list is ball joints and diff oil.

Rear seats have come out for roadworthy regs.

firewall grommets and been sealer, new wipers, cleaned all the grease and oil off everything.

no weeping plugs by the looks, and what looked like oil leaks, don't appear to be continuing to leak.

though I get a little off the handbrake drum - I'll be pulling off the felt washer in the flange nut after I get more oil for the transfer case, and replacing with some oil resistant RTV gasket goo.

Gear shifting adn takeoff is much much better after oil change.

radiator has had an impact it seems too, and one tube is bent - currently watching AFM auctions for a new one.

Just keeping this updated.

Put 90 weight gear oil in both diffs today.

Fixed a leaking rear drive flange at the same time.

Checked the ball joints - I appear to have semi-fluid "one shot" grease in them right up to the plugs.

I highly reccomend that anyone attempting this purchase a "drain plug socket set" from supercheap as well as a 3/8 square drive socket - or weld two 3/8 drive sockets back to back.

Only oil related task left is the felt washer/handbrake drum issue.
