Thanks for showing us how to do the maintenance work of Isuzu MU-X. I do not own one, but I was considering to buy an Isuzu MU-X. I was interested in all the construction details of the car. Such as chassis, suspension system, rear axle, drive shaft, brakes, engine & transmission. That was very informative, everything was thoroughly explained. This video is also giving a lot of information about the car itself. If I would go to the dealer to see how well the car was built, since I would not be able crawl underneath the car to see all of these details, by watching your video, I can have a fair idea about the quality of the car.

Ive never had any issues with the brake cleaner doing any damage to paint in the engine bay and after servicing i always wash down the engine bay and under carriage with water so the brake cleaner doesnt get time to cause any issues.

Nice one mate - thanks. What' are your thoughts on the Outback Armour suspension upgrade 9 months on?

[@LowRangeNick]

The suspension is good for the price. I did have the front springs sag but they sent me out some modified heavier duty springs under warranty which i recently fitted. It is a stiffer ride than standard. They are a solid unit though and have stood up to the abuse well. If i had the money though I would go the whole hog, FOX shocks all round and their coils 😆

[@SteveBlue90]

Should probably split off the cabin filter section, it's a great bit of info amongst normal maintenance stuff. The oil filter catch/drain tray was a nice touch by Isuzu, not seen one of them before, LR and Suzuki just let you spill it over everything. Might want to put a comment on the video though: Fuel filter clean out, better to wash out with fibre free rag and diesel. Not sure what the cleaner you use is, but it kind of looks like degreaser, I don't think that would be a good choice for the fuel system, normal brake cleaner that evaps off would be OK, but still nicer to just use diesel. Rad top up, should really use pre-mix or deionized water. If someone didn't know they might just top off with tap water seeing you use the watering can. Fine for short term or emergency, but terrible idea for long term. Found all your MUX videos heaps useful though, the front end strip down and glovebox stuff was mega helpful when I was doing some fit out work a few months ago.

Hey nick great video as usual. Mate I am a motor mechanic by trade, I'm 63 so came out of my time yonks ago. My question to you is I have a brand new mux , just had the first 15,000 service done on it, I'm thinking rather than wait another 12 months for an oil change, I plan to do it every six months, what's your opinion? Isuzu tell you every 12 months but I feel that's too long. Cheers and keep those videos coming

[@LowRangeNick]

Thanks a lot for the comment and for watching. I agree 12 months is a long time. I personally carry out my servicing every 10,000km or 6 months. Although the 15k intervals are probably ok with modern synthetic oils I still believe that it should be done sooner. If you look in the service book under extreme use you will notice that most of the normal things we do day to day or out on the weekends in our vehicles actually fall under extreme use haha

There is a primer pump on top of the factory fuel filter. Pump that until hard and it will prime the system 😊

[@brettwilson9181]

Always enjoy your videos. Is there any advice you would particularly point out to those who have no hoist?

[@LowRangeNick]

I would recommend getting a good car jack that can lift the car a decent height and 4 jack stands. Lift the car up as high as you can and put a jack stand on each corner so all the wheels are off the ground. Then throw down some big flattened cardboard boxes under the whole car or use a creeper to slide underneath. You can then pretty much follow through exactly how i did the service in the video. That's how I do services at home 😊

[@SteveBlue90]

Probably not super endorsed.... but.... I use 4 wheel ramps and crawl up in low. Been used on LR D1, D2, Jimny and MUX. Jam a hefty piece wood to create a V shape behind two wheels for added safety. Not as good as a hoist, but works pretty well. For checks on bearings then just lift each corner or if you can each end. Axle stands do work, but not as stable if you want to start reefing on things.

All the uni joints and slip joints need lubricating you can use Molly grease or HTB bearing grease. Either will work fine. I usually use high temp bearing grease as it is the bearing rollers that you are lubricating in the uni joints 😊

Is changing the oil on the MUX straight forward just like a normal car or do you have to reset something in the computer after oil change to do with DPF..John Cadogan mentioned something on his you tube video on 12 month servicing..Can you enlighten me on what is the go here please.

Would like to hear your expert advice ..Kevin

engine oil flush? Wher do you buy iy and what do you look for when buying flush oil? Did you check the tyre pressure on the spare as well? Can you do a video on changing the coolant some time if you havnt already done so? Also my D MAX has never been in 4X4 mode as its used for towing a caravan.So is it necessary to change front diff at the same time as erear diff if front diff has never been engaged?

You can get engine oil flush from any good auto store. Most brand engine oil flush are the same so just pick any one you like. You should change both front and rear diff oils at the same time. Even though 4x4 hasnt been engaged the diff will still be moving.
