First weekend free to work on the truck. I plan on replacing the shocks and all fluids. What fluids do you all recommend and roughly what capacity does it take so I buy enough to fill up to all the fill plugs. The truck is a 95 K1500 4x4 w/5 Speed manual.
Motor oil:
Manual states 5qt. I already bought some full synthetic Mobil 1 and accompanying filter because its my favorite.
5 Speed Transmission Fluid:
Manual states "Castrol Syntorq LT" or equivalent for the 5 speed/w low gear and Syncromesh fluid for 5 speed /wo low gear. No idea what transmission I have, but am assuming its the one with low gear as I have the 4x4 w/4L. No idea what the capacity is either. I was looking to put in some Amsoil Syncromesh or Royal Purple Sycromax.
Transfer case:
Manual states states DEXROX III or equivalent. No idea what the capacity is. I wanted to put Royal Purple Sycromax in this as well.
Rear Differential:
Manual states 80W-90 for both the open and locking. I believe my truck has an open as it one wheel peels, but am not 100% sure. No idea what the capacity is. Probably going to put in Mobil 1 synthetic or Royal Purple.
Front Differential:
Manual states 80W-90. No idea what the capacity is. Probably going to put in Mobile 1 synthetic or Royal Purple.
Coolant:
Was going to put is 50/50 Prestone extended life coolant (green stuff). Manual says about 17.5qts.
Any help with capacities and fluid choice will be much appreciated. Thanks!
