Hello and help :)

[alendil]

hi new problem
in my engine is syntetick oil 5w40 is that weary bad what it can do wrong

and my front pasanger site caliper is sticking one of the pistons stuck what to do with that

[Nevman]

5W40 should be fine, but it's strongly recommended to change to AMSOIL next time you do an oil change.
With regards to the calipers, use SEARCH, there was plenty said about it already.
More info in libraries if you upgrade to a full member.

[alendil]

i will upgrade
but now i am spending all what i hawe to servis my legnum how good is posible

any idea what oil to back dif is that normal full syntetick gear oil

[elnevio]

75w-90 Severe Gear Oil - about 3/4 of a litre; same for the transfer box (centre diff)

[Nevman]

As elnevio said.
Same as ATF. And again, the best one is Amsoil.

[alendil]

is that the stuff we talking abaut

[Davezj]

there are few member in newcastle so maybe you could meet up with some of them.

[elnevio]

You got it!

And they only do one sort of ATF...

Performance Oils is the UK distributor for Amsoil, and Don from there often posts on here, under the username Amsoil.

Paid-up members get 15% off all Amsoil products, so my membership has already paid for itself several times over, as I have done the ATF, both AYC fluids, and both diffs, as well as a couple of engine oil changes...

[Nevman]

EDIT: Wrong info posted hence the post edited to avoid misleading.

[elnevio]

No!


This one:
http://www.performanceoilsltd.co.uk/...ion_fluid.html

Um, you don't put that in the rear diff or transfer box. Drivetrain failure may hurriedly ensue! Not sure of the technical reasons, but the ATF is probably too thin for the diffs.

If you are using Amsoil products, then it's:

Transfer box (aka centre diff, an the back of the gearbox) - code SVG 75w-90
Rear diff - SVG 75w-90
AYC actuator fluid (reservoir in boot) - code ATF
AYC clutches (on rear diff) - code ATF

[Nevman]

I may be wrong then. But I remember some discussion that the oils are the same (maybe lost in translation... AGAIN ).
Anyway, I'm sorry if I'm wrong but it may be worth checking with specialists.

Alendil, post your question here:

Yep, that's spot on info there Nev

Lol! As it is, I was just looking at the differing technical specs of the two. And there are similar properties, but the notable difference seems to be the viscosity, with the ATF being quite a lot thinner.

But you are right, some input from a REAL technical expert would be helpful!

[alendil]

hi its me again
i am going to join vr-4 club after 25 of this month ( when some money arive)
for now i need your help
my front pasanger side wheel is cuting edges on tyres ( just this one )
that probably problem with tracking
tommorow (thursday ) i am going to my mechanic to chck that
what setings for legnum to applay is normal galant estate is good
what to do and how

[Nevman]

Definitely tracking.
I have had the same problem.
Your mechanic may not have a settings for our cars and IT IS NOT the same as V6
The correct settings for the toe should be between -0.09 and 0.09 (ideally 0.0)

[alendil]

so if i will tel him tomorrow 0.0 hi will now what i am talking abaut
i just hawe new oil in 5w30 syntetic and there is no taping noise on start and i think its beter on fuel or i am driving like old far....

[Nevman]

Tell him toe 0.0, he should know what it means.
If that won't help, you may have a problem with camber angle but it is highly unlikely.
