Yes. Changing the fluid in your differential will extend its life by removing dirt and moisture and by maintaining lubrication and minimizing high speed foaming. When the fluid gets dirty, it can no longer lubricate as it was designed.

This was taken from the LS1 FAQ which is on www.ls1.com and was original submitted by Mitch Warren. I have made my own slight modifications to the instructions based on what I feel is the best way to do this. Let me start by saying you will get lubricant on the floor. It's unavoidable. If you have been driving your car for any length of time, the lube will be hot, so please be careful and have the oil soak and shop towels handy.

Under normal use, and proper maintenance, you should never have to change the solution. That is one of the biggest advantages of the SmartWasher. Ozzy cleans the solution of contaminants, leaving you clean solution to work with. Hydrocarbon materials are bioremediated in the SmartWasher so your "used" solution does not need to be hauled away as hazardous waste.

Yes. Although some people not familiar with the rear ends in this car will tell you different, the rear ends have a lot of meshing to do when they're new and they will develop a lot of metal shavings in the fluid which much be released. Some people actually change their fluid before 7,500 miles. Once you've changed the fluid the first time, you don't need to keep doing it every 7,500 miles after that. Follow the service schedule in my user manual for your car.

Changing your transmission fluid regularly will extend the life of your transmission. On most transmissions, there is also a filter that needs to be changed at the same time. Most transmission specialists suggest changing the filter and fluid every 30,000 miles, even if the fluid looks clean. What happens is over time, it breaks down and becomes dirty. The operating temperatures will rise and lubrication will decrease, leading to premature wear and transmission failure.

Like an automatic transmission, the fluid in your manual transmission needs to be changed regularly. Changing the fluid will extend its life by removing dirt and moisture and by maintaining lubrication and minimizing high speed foaming. When the fluid gets dirty, it can no longer lubricate as it was designed.

Yes. Changing the fluid in your 4X4's transfer case will extend its life by removing dirt and moisture and by maintaining lubrication and minimizing high speed foaming. Please note that your transfer case must be serviced even if you almost never use your 4-wheel drive. Your transfer case is operating at all times, regardless of whether all four wheels are engaged.

Changing the fluid in your power steering system will extend the life of your power steering pump and rack. We recommend having a Power Steering flush performed. Which will change almost all of the old fluid. When the P/S fluid gets dirty, it can no longer lubricate as it was designed.

We use a Coolant Flushing Machine, which gets rid of all the old fluid and replaces it with the correct quantity of new fluid.

We use glycerin, FDA approved. This food additive is found in many recipes, the most common being frosting (or icing) on cakes. It is also used in some skin creams, makeup and lipstick. Others use animal-based Glycerin or water combinations.

Fuel filters are more important than ever to the proper functioning of your engine. Fuel injected cars are far less tolerant of gas problems than the older carbureted cars. If the filter plugs it can starve the engine for fuel. Also, a restricted filter will stress the electric fuel pump, leading to early failure. Generally, your fuel filter should be replaced once a year or at no more than 30,000 miles.

we recommend only the stock v160 oil for the 6-speed. it works great. pricey, but not compared to the thousands for a new transmission. do not use redline synthetic d4 atf for the transmission. click here to read why. other brands you may use at your own risk. the redline synthetic 75w90 (not the 75w90ns) in the differential works well.

When the US defence department developed the GPS satellite system, it was meant for military applications - to help pinpoint the exact position of a soldier in the field, for example. That system is extremely accurate, within something like 50 feet. The DoD didn't want to give that capability to the enemy, so they scrambled that signal. The signal that's available to the public has been deliberately tweaked to provide a position within about 200 feet.

When the ratings of a team are calculated, a win adds to the power rating of that team regardless of the goal differential. The goal differential is taken into account but its impact drops off with the larger difference. A 10 goal victory has almost the same impact as a 20 goal difference. How is the strength of schedule computed? The strength of schedule is currently calculated by taking the average of all of the opponents power ratings.

Depending on the vehicle make and model, some transmissions have external filters exactly the same as an engine and some have a filter inside the gearbox which requires the pan to be removed and then replaced. We change the transmission oil using a fluid exchange machine which pushes the old oil out and adds the new fluid at the same time.

Brake fluid is a hydroscopic fluid, meaning that it attracts moisture. Moisture is created from the heating/cooling effects of normal brake use, also humidity from the atmosphere. This moisture causes rusting and pitting of internal parts, which leads to unnecessary replacement costs. Under severe braking excess, moisture can cause the fluid to boil, leading to brake failure.

We test the moisture content using a hydrometer. Once the fluid has an excess of 3% moisture, we will recommend replacing it. This is checked annually by us and normally requires changing every 2 years.

The fluid should be filtered after the first 200 hours of use and should be changed out every 2,000 hours. This can take place at the distributor location and be completed in about 30 minutes. Tes does not "use up" the tes fluid while in operation. It is possible however, to lose approximately one teaspoon of fluid when the quick connects are disconnected. There is a sight tube on the front of the tes machine.
