drum roll please.
I also used the full line of Valvoline products on manyy of my vehicles for a long time.grm3 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 06, 2023 11:47 amI've always used aftermarket fluids in my 2006 SE.
Either Mobil 1 or Valvoline full synthetic 75w-90 in both diffs.
Either Castrol Transmax Import Multi-Vehicle or Valvoline MaxLife Multi-Vehicle ATF in the transmission and transfer case. This can also be used for power steering too.
I forgot which engine do you have, V6 or V8?AS_The_Crow_Flys wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 10:51 pmLooks like I am a little early on the trans and diffs, here is my list of everything that i know was done. Interestingly i do not see the serpentine belt. Weird i doubt very much that it has an original 15 year old belt on it.
I will do the power steering fluid. I doubt that was ever done. and do the transmission, transfer case, and diffs, and radiator fluids at 130k. but i am going to buy the ATF fluid now as its on sale and shit just keeps getting more expensive.

FYI - Autozone in the link above let me order 4 gallons of the ATF for 108.47. Using the 4$ off deal and promo code MARCHSAVINGS
You miles may very but this stuff is usually about 35$ a gallon so 4 for this price is pretty good.
If your all curious this is the maintenance log.

No. it does not.AS_The_Crow_Flys wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 9:43 amIts the V6, it was super noisy so I had to have the timing chain guides done and got a pittance from the manufacturer (there was a schedule to cover some of the cost).
Does the V8 have the same problem?
Did it sound like a vacuum cleaner? Was it the recall for the timing chain and tensioner?AS_The_Crow_Flys wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 9:43 amIts the V6, it was super noisy so I had to have the timing chain guides done and got a pittance from the manufacturer (there was a schedule to cover some of the cost).
