On special until tomorrow evening:http://www.gtiroc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57982 I think it comes out at ~£50 with the delivery on it, but seeing as it's not my business you'd be better off visiting the site and calculating the price of delivery for your basket.

It's absolutely ideal.

The 10w-50 is £38, plus £6.99 shipping for 5 litres. Use the code XMASTREAT and your members discount to get that price.

Cheers

Fluids change

Hi I have a 91 j plate pulsar. I am about to change the clutch and am wanting to do a full fluids change.. Engine oil, gear oil, transfer and diff..
Please could you tell me which oils are best to use?

Thanks

Engine+filter=3.7L 10w40 or 10w50
Rear diff 1L GL5
Transfer 1.5L GL5
Gearbox 4.2 GL4

You'll need 4L engine oil (unless sold in 5L containers) and 7L gearbox oil.
Front diff is in the transfer box and centre diff is in the gearbox.

Why are you recommending auto transmission oil for the transfer box? It's 80/90 ish.

i had the same discussion when i ordered my last batch, but was assured that its the one reccomended for our transfer box on their database (even though the manual differs)

Not sure why there`s the front diff listed on their system because as you say fast guy, its in the box.

I put the fluid recommended in the transfer and it seems a fair bit thinner.

I have faith though

cheers,
ollie

I'd have thought Nissan knew best.:?

it was something listed for the skyline (just looked and the skyline transfer ain`t the same so dunno?)

Anyway, i`ll stop trying to remember and let the oil man speak

I think I put 75w90 in my transfer case, the same as the gearbox.

oilman · Jan 20, 2010

The standard spec is Nissan Matic D ATF. You can use another grade, but that's up to you

Fast Guy · Jan 20, 2010

Standard spec for what? It isn't mentioned in the Gtir workshop manual.

Recommended fluids and lubicants workshop manual page clicky

Why would you need autotrans fluid in the gtir transfer box? there are no clutches or anything,it is just a set of gears and a open(or sealed viscous) diff, so you will only need a gear oil such as 75/90 gl4/5.

red reading · Jan 20, 2010

as the manual says,
gearbox gl4 75/90
transferbox gl5 75/90
rear diff gl5 75/90

PobodY · Jan 20, 2010

Ah - maybe that's for the viscous coupling!?
I could see that it's a bit like a torque converter so ATF might be what you use.

olliecast · Jan 20, 2010

So i was supplied the atf quoted for my transfer box, are we saying this is right because of the viscous diff? :?
