[QUOTE="JJTL, post: 273853, member: 7883"] Howdy! Well I finally had a dedicated weekend of working on the Vette, getting it ready for the road. After picking it up in January, the plan has always been to do a full service on it, since I have very little information on when fluids and other routine maintenance were completed. Was able to get the engine oil & filter changed, the 4 speed gear oil changed, the overdrive oil & filter changed, and the rear end oil changed. All went very good!.....until I noticed fresh gear oil from the transmission leaking. I had noticed that when I drained the trans, the oil was definitely low. This explains that. I think I'll create a separate thread here about the issue, and see if any Doug Nash 4+3 experts can shed some light on the issue. If its useful to anyone, here are the fluids used: [B]Engine Oil:[/B] Castrol GTX (traditional oil) 5W-30 [B]Doug Nash 4+3 - 4 Speed:[/B] Castrol 80W-90 Gear Oil GL-5 (traditional oil) [B]Doug Nash 4+3 - Overdrive:[/B] Motormaster ATF Dexron III (traditional oil) [B]Rear Differential:[/B] Royal Purple MaxGear 75W-90 Gear Oil with Friction Additive (synthetic oil) Here are a few pics from the weekend. I at least got to drive it around the block a few times. It sure wants to go! Unfortunately, the trans leak is too bad to be driving it around just yet. Nice to see it outside though!!! [/QUOTE]
