This video should have more likes, good explained!

[@EndlessMoneyPits]

Thank you! I hope the likes and views come someday.

[@SoporificProdigy]

Thanks bro your comment on using heavier oil for overlanding made sense so I went with that instead.

[@SoporificProdigy]

Doing it literally rn in the rain 🤣

[@MetalForEmmanuel]

Excellent video, brother!

[@EndlessMoneyPits]

Thank you!

[@99AmethystZJ]

Thanks for excellent and helpful vid🙏 you did a great job cleaning the cover, I'm new to Jeeps so a little learning going on and i love changing or renewing fluids and didn't realise I'd need to do this 😳👍

[@EndlessMoneyPits]

Glad you found the video helpful! You should also make sure to change the transfer case fluid, power steering fluid, coolant, and possibly the transmission fluid - that's something you should look into first if you have an automatic.

[@99AmethystZJ]

@@EndlessMoneyPits cripes😲 I've got a busy time ahead!! Luckily it had excellent service history but sure I'll be double checking all those, thanks again👍

[@EndlessMoneyPits]

@@99AmethystZJ I forgot to mention brake fluid. It's good you got a well maintained one - peace of mind is very valuable. Have fun!

[@99AmethystZJ]

@@EndlessMoneyPits ah,yep..I've definitely seen a recent invoice that was done, she's only done 41k miles so good to get done anyway...thanks again

[@stayve.]

Great video man just changed the fluid and cleaned up both of my diffs on my ZJ

[@EndlessMoneyPits]

Glad you found it helpful! I'll be doing a video on replacing the transfer case fluid and doing a coolant flush pretty soon.

[@stayve.]

@@EndlessMoneyPits sweet! coolant flush video will be helpful, I haven’t done that yet. I’ve got to change out my rear diff spider gears eventually I’m just putting it off till it’s warmer outside to go pull some from a junkyard haha

[@EndlessMoneyPits]

Apparently I'll be filming an O2 sensor replacement tomorrow on the Jeep. It started running like crap last night and I just figured it out and got the new part a few minutes ago. Real fun laying under the jeep in the snow. What an endless money pit... lol

[@stayve.]

@@EndlessMoneyPits J.e.e.p. life haha

[@99AmethystZJ]

Thanks

[@EndlessMoneyPits]

Thank you!

[@kaloyanbonev7003]

Hey, thank you for the video, but I think that right fluid is 80w90 gl5, what you think?

[@EndlessMoneyPits]

Each differential model will have different fluid requirements. Thanks for watching!

[@michaelfulton6662]

you ok.....man

[@k2bolek588]

Great job. How many liters does it need?

[@EndlessMoneyPits]

I tell you in the video twice. Have you watched it?

[@k2bolek588]

@@EndlessMoneyPits I do not know English.

[@EndlessMoneyPits]

I used about two quarts which is almost the same as two liters.

[@user-nw7kf6nl2y]

do you fill it until it begins to leak out of the fill hole?

[@EndlessMoneyPits]

Yep!

[@user-nw7kf6nl2y]

@@EndlessMoneyPits alright thanks
