changing trans/transfer fluid

vwbeatle1214 · 02-23-2005, 11:44 PM

i'm changing thansmission fluid, transfer case fluid, and diferential gear oil
what types are you guys using , and how much should i buy since i wont be able to get back out once i drain it. i usually run synthetics so i will probably be sticking with the same here unless theres a reason not to.
thanks
Randy

You most likely just need ATF 3 or dex 3 .. go to murrays or autozone and ask them

i dont know how much ur trans takes... i would day 5-7 cause a tf999 takes 5 quarts .. dont really know that - ask the autoparts guys

Check out the FAQ sticky Post at the top of the page.

I run Mobil1 ATF in the transfer-case. I bought 3 quarts last time, but did not use them all. I save one for when I have to top it off (leaky seal).

Trans: Not sure
Diffs: Pretty sure it is normal diff fluid.

well the sticky says 80 weight gear oil in the trans, has anyone used a synthetic gear oil in there and did you notice a difference?
