Hi all, Just thought I’d post a bit of a photo journal of my recent Engine & Diff flush and re oil using Mainlube products. See below what I used:- 2 x GTX Mineral oil or any crap mineral oil you can get cheap. Just recently Repco ran the 4ltr varieties out the door for $5 this is all you need. Must be a mineral oil though.Cheapest Gear oil you can find, I just used the Penrite stuff ($20) but I’m sure there is cheaper stuff out there.Mainlube Engine Flush AdditiveMainlube Gear Oil 75w140 appearance is as red as red can be.Mainlube 10w60 appearance Avocado/Olive.FilterMag RA300Filtermag TM360 transmission Pan App First Get the car in the hoist and drain both the Engine and Diff oil. Then we re filled with the Mineral Engine oil and the Diff oil and the instructed amount of flush for both Engine and Diff. 11/1 is the ratio. Now its time to let the car run and ilde for approximatley 20 mins with say every 5 mins jumping in the car and bringing the revs up to 2200 for say 30 secs. We decided to kill two birds with the one stone by jacking up the back, chocking the fronts and slipping it into drive. This way we cover both the engine and the diff flush at the same time. Possibly I little bit dodge but no damage done. We then simply dropped both the Engine and Diff oil and re filled using the Mainlube Oils. 10w60 Mainlube Engine Oil with secret herbs and spices! Mainlube 75w140 Gear Oil that is the redest liquid I think I've ever seen! Now the simple intsall of the Pan Magnets. *****Warning if you have never played around with strong earth magnets before be very very careful, I literally almost broke my finger off holding them and moving to close to a tool box***** Scared the Barjesus out of me. Then fit the Oil filter Magnet. (for illustartion purposes only, forgot to take pic of my one)! And all done! Ready to go racing.
