Ok, I have read and read and read and even read long long threads about this subject, and as this forum is so large, its inevitable that you will have conflicts. what my problem is im getting 4 different ideas on every subject. so here goes wiht my problem. I want to change my powersteering fluid, xfer case fluid, and transmission fluid (im not flushing so im just going to put regular fluid in.)
POWER STEERING: I believe it is not such an issue on what to use, but as I understand merc V is too slippery for some applications like the xfer case, but I have bought mobile 1 synth atf for the power steering.
Transmission: I am going to just use motorcraft merc v to top off the fluid after I change the fluid, what 4 qts maybe.
XFER CASE: this is the bigger problem. People have said its not good at all to use merc v spec in the xfer case as like I said its too slippery. so they reccomend ONLY normal merc fluid. though amsoil and moblile 1 are both rated for merc v, so what do I do.
what is the reccomended fluid to use for each component. Hopefully I can get some info from guys that have actually done this and not just more opinions, thanks so much for all the help, sometimes I get too much help.
