What oil goes into the transfer case?

[@LowRangeNick]

@Fox Md for the isuzu d-max and mu-x it's 5w30 engine oil. Every manufacturer is different, if you have a different vehicle ask your local parts department.

[@foxmd9410]

@@LowRangeNick Thanks for the reply Nick, I have a 2012 DMax and 5w30 all the way up to 20w50 is recommended in the manual which is the same recommendation as the engine oil. I'm running Penrite HPR Diesel 10 10w-40 semi synthetic as engine oil and I was wondering if this would be suitable for the transfer-case too, the manual says it ok but always good to get another opinion.

[@raileyken]

I thank for your viedo of the change of oil in transfer case. I taught I new but I wanted to be sure. I thank you for me being able to confirm what I new. Thanks, Ken

As always Nick , top informative video .You have made owning an MU-X a lot easier...Thanks a million for that .My Provent catch can has collected 500 ml over 36 ,000 ks .My 6200 fog lights you recommended are tops also .They really do fill the gap with white light when headlights are on dip.. Perfect..

[@4bnewb969]

Thx Nick. More great info 👍 I run a Hilux, just checked the handbook, and like your Mux, all the manufacturer shows is “Inspect” every 2 years for the transfer case (& the auto) - interesting how they effectively treat them as a sealed unit. For me both those get serviced every 2 years regardless. Have a great and safe festive season. Catcha in the New year Cheers

[@LowRangeNick]

Your right on the money. Great idea to get them changed every 2 years. Thanks alot for the comment 😊 Merry Christmas 😊

Great work Nick

Nick, never miss your uploads mate. Last 2 oil changes with Ryco filters, I have had leakage from the filter onto the ground. Filter has been hand tightened best I can. Buggered if i know

[@LowRangeNick]

Hey Adz! I haven't had any issues with the RYCO filter seals leaking before. Maybe my mechanic hands can get the filter done up really tight haha! As long as you are cleaning the sealing surface before fitting the new oil filter and lubricating the new oil filter O ring before installing I dont see why they should leak. You could try a genuine oil filter and check the oil filter housing where the filter seals for any damage? Or buy a hoop style filter tool and just nip the filter up a little bit tighter. Hope that helps Adz!

[@adzoutnabout8666]

@@LowRangeNick thanks mate, my problem could be not cleaning and lubricating the O ring contact surface. Thanks for your response mate.

Thanks Nick.

[@edmundwasilewski]

G'day Nick, thanks for some very informative vids. Is there any chance of doing a vid on EGR clean out, please

[@LowRangeNick]

I may make one in the future, great idea. 😊

[@edmundwasilewski]

@@LowRangeNick really look forward to that vid. Thank you, and a Merry Christmas

[@jamestanner9198]

Valve clearances vid would be great to mate

[@LowRangeNick]

Next time it's due on my vehicle I will aim to do one. I'm at 90k now so could be a little while 😊

[@peterreed5386]

G'day Nick, another top video. Do you have a video on changing the oil in the 4wd selector unit?

[@LowRangeNick]

Yep, it's part of my diff oil change video 🙂

[@peterreed5386]

Thanks mate, great work, I’ll check it out.

[@greg3095]

Just found you good page

[@LowRangeNick]

Cheers Greg 😊

[@user-ey8cb5xh3b]

As always great video Nick! Just a quick questions: I get a slight drip on the drive shaft coming out of the transfer case. Still there after changing the oil. Not sure if you've experienced it? I've read that its a common leak when you've got a lifted car. Just wondering what you think. Cheers

[@LowRangeNick]

I have seen it on a few vehicles due to big lift, the tailshaft slips out of the seal a bit too far. You can get tailshaft spacers which will push it back in. It could also be as simple as just a leaky output shaft seal.

[@troyhunter4740]

Good stuff Nick, How often you think to change the transfer case oil? .. ive got a dmax thats done just over 150,000kms now.. Its about time to be done?

[@LowRangeNick]

Probably a good idea to change it every 40-60k depending on how you drive or if you tow ect. 😊

[@wilsonbatang5651]

thank you so much

[@bluedunn374]

Thanks Nick, where did Isuzu publish that information regarding the type of oil? Cheers.

[@LowRangeNick]

In the service manual and user manual under oil specifications 😊

[@ladibajwa0603]

Great help man there's no video about d max or mux doing transfer case move from audi a6 all roader to d max love it but I hate Australian mux n d max because u guys got 3.0 n am in Europe n got only 2.5 twin turbo models just joking 😉 😀 running 195hp 470nm torque but I think 3.0 do have more benefits

[@adamtaniasargent1386]

Not interested in your gift card as your vids about the MUX are gold and have saved me a ton of moola.... Stay safe, cherish the time with family and friends, stay safe and have an amazing🍺🍺 Xmas

[@LowRangeNick]

Thanks alot! Merry Christmas to you and your family. 😊

[@AGT24]

I’ve had my dmax since 2013 250k I’ve never done this ? 😢I probably need to do it didn’t use 4x4 to much

[@conoman]

Great video! Do you have a catch can fitted to your vehicle? Do you think they are a good idea?

[@LowRangeNick]

I usually do but have it removed at the moment.

[@davidwebb8380]

g'day nick,,, damn your underbody area looks clean enough to eat dinner off,,,, how old or how many k's has the vehicle done ?

[@LowRangeNick]

Almost done 90k! I always give it a thorough clean after going off-road 😊

Hi Nik , I been told this automatic gearbox holds 11 liters of oil ,so what is better

[@timf5946]

Hey mate would you know the thread size on the fill and drain plugs

[@georgewoggy]

Remove the little plate for less mess 12mm bolts

[@cameronrobertson5370]

Hey do you think Penrite 10w40 semi syn would work okay in my 2016 Dmax or does it need to be enviro plus ?

[@LowRangeNick]

Maybe just double check what your local auto store would recommend. It may require fully synthetic oil like the enviro+.

[@Darkrider998]

What oil comes in the transfer from factory ? A synthetic based ?

[@LowRangeNick]

Synthetic 5w30

[@samelegant8937]

does anyone know if a damaged transfer case leak oil through the transfer case seal isuzu is blaming my 2 inch warrenty and are saying thats causing the leak but alot of people have the same car and with a 3 inch body lift hasnt done anything to the car so im really considering that that the damage might be in the transfer box its self

[@jonnesjawi1797]

What kind oil it is....???

[@jamestanner9198]

Are you going to do the selector oil change as well?

[@LowRangeNick]

Selector oil change? What do you mean?

[@jamestanner9198]

Where cv goes in driver's side sep oil there diff then where selector is

[@jamestanner9198]

Where the electronic box bolts on mate

[@LowRangeNick]

@@jamestanner9198 Is there a seperate compartment for the selector oil is there? I thought the front diff oil filled the extension housing off the diff and the actuator?

[@jamestanner9198]

No it does not

[@kawlany]

HI MY FRIND CAN YOU TILL US WHAT TYPE OF OIL YOU FILL TRANS BOX ?

[@LowRangeNick]

You can use 5w30 or 10w40 fully synthetic engine oil.

[@220kingo]

Can I put 75 - 90 viscosity oil for my mux 2022 ?

[@LowRangeNick]

I'm unsure if that's the right oil for the 2022 model. Please check with your nearest auto store.

[@220kingo]

@@LowRangeNick In the agency’s brochure, it recommends an oil viscosity of 10-40. If you put an oil viscosity of 75-90 or 75, would it suit or cause problems?

[@LowRangeNick]

@@220kingo yea it could cause an issue.

[@gambekapula3761]

Hi Nik , I been told this automatic gearbox holds 11 liters of oil ,so what is better

[@LowRangeNick]

The complete automatic Transmission will hold around 10l of oil but when draining the oil you can't get the oil out of the torque converter so you can really only drain about 4l out at a time.
