[QUOTE="Johnny O, post: 1021987, member: 61743"] Oil: Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30. I've gotten UOA's and it's good stuff. Change every 5k. Coolant: Prestone. Change every 50k. Tranny fluid: Whatever the shop puts in when they flush it. I think they use BG. 115k with flushes at 50k and 100k, no issues so far. Transfer case: Mobil 1 ATF or Redline D4. Right now I have Redline in it since I had some left over from changing the fluid in the T-5 in my son's Mustang. Change every 30k. Front axle: Valvoline Synpower 75w-90. Going to Valvoline Quicky Lube is really the only way to do the front axle. They have a suction machine to drain it. You can't get the diff cover off with the diff in the truck. Change every 50k. Rear axle: Mobil 1 75w-140. Gen 2's have a drain plug on the rear so it's easy to do yourself. Change every 30k since Gen 2 rear axle bearings have a reputation for being soft. I change all of them myself except for the tranny flush and front axle. [/QUOTE]
