Hey guys doing some pre winter maintenance on my 01 and I'm trying to figure out what trans fluid you guys would reccommend to use, and what weight oil to use in the diffs. I'm guessing standard procedure on the diffs, just fill until it comes out the fill hole but how about the capacity on the trans fluid? Also is the fill hole a pain in the ***** to get to? Thanks for any tips guys, pretty new here still but liking this forum already.

 

the fill hole on the difs is simple to get too, as for the transmission, on autos you fill them thru the dip stick tube.

 

Thanks man sounds like it's gonna take a while to fill lol if anyone could still chime in on the trans fluid capacity that would be a big help.

 

Anyone else wanna chime in?

 

A note I made from the manual (and some of my own additions for memory) frOm my 99 I keep in my phone.

Oil 6 quarts 10-30 or 5-30
L14670 purolator filter

Trans. 4 quarts of dexIII- regular drain and fill

Transfer case 2.2 pints (1 liter of trans fluid dexIII or ATF)

Axles sae 75-90 or 75-140 synthetic

Front 3pints or 1.5 liters
Rear 4.4 pints or 2.0 liters (c 8.25)

Coolant dry capacity is 4 gallons

 

Thanks a lot buddy, good info right there, that's what I'm lookin for.
