Hi everyone, it is time to change the oil and filter before we start the summer season, any suggestions about which oil would be very welcome. Also I want to check / top up the diffs and auto transmission, it is a 4 wheel drive, are there 3 diffs? how do I check them and what oil for topping up?
Hope someone can help.
Thanks
John

Thanks for the info, I have ordered the filter and penciled in the weekend after this one, to do the change.

Hello All,
I just been trying to get some Diff oil for my bongo, she is a 2.5td 1995 sgl5.
The fact sheet on here reccommends SAE90 (GL-5) Now I have looked and can only find 80w 90 GL-5 oil. Will this suffice? I have no ideas when it comes to diff oils etc so some extra help would be very much appreciated.

Make sure your Bongo isn't one of the minority that have limited slip diffs as I believe they take something different(ial) again!
