Ok--I did a search, and didn't find the answers I am looking for [which means it was probably right in front of me].
I have a 95 Cherokee Sport. I need to change out the oils in the tranny, x-fer case, and both diffs. I called Checkers and they said I should use 75-90 for the x-mission and x-fer case, and 75-140 for the diffs. I was looking at getting the valvoline 85-140 durablend to use. Would that be ok in the diffs? Also, how would it do in the tranny and x-fer cases? I was able to use the durablend in my 84 toyota, and got good performance results with it there.
What would be the best oils to use in all of the above cases? Also, how often should I take off the diff covers to clean out the gears? I know I gotta get a siphon pump to get the old gear oil out, but figure every once-in-a-while take off the diff covers and give them a good cleaning [too bad they didn't install drain plugs in these things like Toyota did]. Thanks in advance for the help.
