Basic maintenance on Inga...

(1/5) > >>

Seabee_BUC:
So Saturday, I'm going to the hobby shop to do some basic maintenance on JD's Jeep, change the oil, replace the Super Flex joints on her control arms, change the oil in the t-case and transmission, etc... So I called Napa and asked about the price for the 3 quarts of Tranny oil and the guy tells me he doesn't carry it??? Tells me it's a dealer only item??? >:( Tranny fluid for f*cks sake??? >:( Dealer item??? >:( So I call them and find out it's $21 a friggin quart!  >:(  >:( What the hell??? Better be good stuff...So needless to say, I'm gonna do it anyway but damn!....



OK, I feel better.....Thanks for listening   ;D

Oh, if anyone feels like getting dirty, I could use an extra hand or two...

If you have the NV3550, you can use the Royal Purple stuff at Bumper to Bumper.  It's not cheap, but it's no where near $21 a quart!!!  I'll have to look and see if I have a little left over so I can tell you exactly which kind it is.  It is the right stuff, and better because it's RP!  ;D

Ya, the wifes chrysler minivan is like that. ONLY atf +4 and the cheapest I have ever seen it is about $9 a quart.

My AX-15 uses the same stuff at the NV3550, and I went through the same thing a few years ago.  Chevy makes the same thing for a few $$$ cheaper, but still about the same price as a good full synthetic like Royal Purple or Red Line.  I remember paying something like $12-$15 a quart.  Check out the latest issue of JP with their MJ build up, they are using the NV3550 and show a pic of oil they require.

Wally world has started picking up factory brand oil and filters, check there, it's where i get the ford stuff for my wife's van, and it's cheaper then the regular oil!!
