With oil filters that screw into the bottom of the engine, it's worth filling them with fresh oil before screwing them on. Means you can get the level right sreaight awat and avoids oil starvation on first start.

Excellent video. I’ll make a quick inspection on my Jimny before I take it for the first service to the dealership. Cheers! 🎉😊

[@SuperCacahuete93]

Merci pour cette video tres instructive 😉😉

[@paulalvarezdelcastillo4117]

Great Video! Cheers!

[@MightyOverlander]

Thanks mate, we will be doing more with Tokyo Motorsport this year. Some interesting dyno stuff and checking out some power options

[@abo_saud007]

We want a video explaining how to change brake fluid.

[@pradatia]

many thanks for the video! one question: do you have oem parts number for engine oil plug gasket?

[@DT95WA]

Mate had a lot of work done to his Evo's back in the day there and now with Phil there we will be getting the Mighty Marshmallow serviced there also.

[@MightyOverlander]

Legendary!! We have a few big mods coming up on the Jimny over the next few months all being done at Tokyos

[@DT95WA]

@@MightyOverlander do you stick to the 15k servicing or do at 7.5k?

[@MightyOverlander]

@@DT95WA I do it around the big trips. Which I do a lot of

[@craigsampson3386]

​@DT95WA I found that interesting how Suzuki Australia doubled the service interval length from 7,500kms to 15,000kms? I think it was in late 2019 ish as the first JB74s that were sold here had 3yrs standard warranty with 7,500kms service intervals, but Suzuki changed it to a 5yrs standard warranty with 15,000kms service intervals, yet to my knowledge nothing else has changed? 🤔 Surely thats abit too far in-between engine oil changes? I never reach that, do about 5,000 to 8,000kms each year, but if i did do more I'd be changing it more often.

[@stevestevesteve]

Great video guys! Lol I was just checking out where Phil has the hoist arms placed. Always get a bit worried when borrowing a hoist and I’m not sure where they should be placed.

[@MightyOverlander]

I will take a video of where the hoist goes when I am back up there having some work done!

[@stevestevesteve]

@@MightyOverlander thanks Tony!!! It’s abit of an unusual car to lift 😅

[@MightyOverlander]

@@stevestevesteve yeah it’s certainly awkward haha

[@VideoShowMeHow]

I'm seeing evos, an s13.... sheesh loving it ..oh and a schweet Jimny of course ;) p.s looked like a fair it of dust/dirt past that air filter ?!

[@MightyOverlander]

Spectacular views

[@MightyOverlander]

Don’t worry about the red dirt. Haha nothing to see here

[@philburrows6036]

Nice vid Tony..Is there not a torque setting for the sump plug?

[@IIGrayfoxII]

There is 35nm for oil sump plug 23nm for manual drain bolt 21nm for manual fill bolt 55nm for front and rear diff drain bolt 50nm for front and rear diff fill bolt 17nm for auto drain bolt 23nm for transfer case bolts These values are from the "gold Series" service manual that was translated from russian Now you dont have to use a torque wrench, but you can use your head. auto trans pans are thin, so snug is enough manual bolts can use a little more than snug diff bolts snug and maybe 1/4 turn oil sump, snug and 1/5 turn As Uncle Rodger would say "Just use feeling", but if you are unsure, use a torque wrench

[@craigsampson3386]

What grade diff oil would you recommend for my Jimny with ARB air lockers? 🤔 My workshop used Valvoline High Performance 85W140 but said a 90W140 mineral oil doing light work would be fine which i found confusing, as thats a thicker oil than what they already put in it during installation? Curious to see what others think, also the oil capacity as I'll be doing my first oil change on my diffs soon.

[@MightyOverlander]

I’ll ask Phill the Mechanic and see what he recommends

[@craigsampson3386]

​@@MightyOverlander cheers mate 👍Phills service vid was very helpful. I've started getting stuff ready like I've bought a pump, made sure i had a 17mm socket for the drain plug etc. Also i found that a 10mm male square socket is a perfectly tight fit for the filler plug compared to a 3/8 drive ratchet which is a little loose, but doubt that'd strip anyways as it isn't high torque. Could you also please ask Phill where i can buy those new nylon and copper replacement washers? From a Suzuki dealership or just universal ones from anywhere online? Cheers.

[@sukerchakiakennels]

Hey there, what oil did you use for the diffs, GL4 or GL5. Suzuki manual doesn't specify it

[@MightyOverlander]

I will double confirm with Phill the Mechanic and get back to you!

[@sukerchakiakennels]

@@MightyOverlander thanks a ton, be waiting

[@baydenyoung5417]

Out of curiosity what gearbox issues have been experienced?

[@MightyOverlander]

I had an issue on when on the tracks a while back. I’ve done something inside the gear box so it’s a bit rough 😅

[@peterpontikos3786]

your JB74 not locked?

[@MightyOverlander]

Nar I’m not a rock crawler

[@peterblissett9076]

Mine needs 3.9 ltr with new filter not 3.6 as written in service book

[@craigsampson3386]

300ml or so would be taken up by your oil filter. Check level again after engine has been turned over briefly like he did in the video.

[@bowtasdw]

Looks like Jimny airboxes must be made by the same company that makes Landcruiser airboxes in Japan.

[@MightyOverlander]

I wouldn’t be surprised! A lot of guys upgrade to the toqit boxes

[@S9RUT]

Airbox has been updated since Tony's. They now have 4 clips around the side plus the two positioning hooks out back 👍

[@craigsampson3386]

​@@S9RUT do you mean in the newer year model Jimnys made since Tony's year model?
