What ever grade you use , try to make it either synthetic or semi . I started to use semi and noticed straight off the gear change was smoother. I use 75/90 in both , do about 8,000 plus a month and had no problems , I do change it every second service , or around 12 weeks / 16-20,000 miles. I know this is a bit excessive , but buy it in quantity , so not too expensive. |

Hi, In the download section is available, the Use and Mentenance book. I put it there in order to be available to those who do not have it and of course to be read it. It was there since July 2012. This book was printed on paper and required a considerable time (my free time) to be converted into electronic format. The electronic formats files as a PDF file are suitable for Web application such as our forum. If you had been a little curious about your vehicle, you could find that this guide contains a table with the type and quantity of fluid used in your vehicle. For fast access to this table I created a separate link (May 2013), which is in the same section of download. At the moment I'm working on the use and maintenance guide for Daily fourth generation, but I wonder if it's worth because nobody reads these guides and silly question, like the one above, will continue.

To be fair Baz , I tried a number of times to download these with no luck , but eventually it worked , but not sure what I did wrong. Possibly I may have had something set-up wrong on my PC , you know the saying about "old dogs ................" Keep the good work up , we all appreciate it. |
