Complete Oil and Lube Job Question

[NORTHWOODS]

Today we (Northwoods and Ostrich911) changed all of the fluids in our trucks, minus the brake fluid. We are not sure how much motor oil goes in the transmission. We drained it and then filled though the side until fluid came out. Is this correct, it seemed to be about a gallon +. Also looking for the part # for the oil filter gaskets at nappa.

That's all there is to it.

Man! From that pic, I can almost smell that gear oil!

Check the "Parts Cross Reference" under the "Resources" drop-down.

The transmission uses gear oil, not motor oil. Have you looked at the LO or TM's?

 

[oifvet]

Whoa!! Good catch, doghead!

 

[NORTHWOODS]

Acording to LO 9-2320-386-12 It states 15W40. I thought it smelled like gear oil but the LO said 15W40. Maybe i am looking at the wrong LO.

 

[doghead]

The gasket for the oil filter cans is NAPA# 5070 gasket. The transmission uses 90 W GL-1 gear oil. if you use MT-5, be sure it is "yellow metal safe".

 

[doghead]

What LO# is on your data plate on the dash, over the map compartment?

 

[doghead]

LO 9-2320-386-12 is for A-3's. M35 Lubrication Order, m44a3 m35a3, m35a3c, m36a3 lo9-2320-386-12

LO 9-2320-209-12-1 is for the M35A2. Lube order for the m35 series lo9-2320-209-12-1

W/pto 10 1/2 pt. W/o pto 8 1/2 pt. Transfer 7 qt.

 

[NORTHWOODS]

We just checked the data plates, they are both LO 9-2320-209-12. Apparently we are two dumb asses!! We are still new to all this..We used 75/90 gear oil in everything except engine and transmission...OOOOPPPPSSSSS!!

 

[doghead]

SOP, Blame it on the other guy!

 

[NORTHWOODS]

I just drove one of the trucks about 15 miles with motor oil in the transmission, can I just drain it and refill it, or should we flush it first?

 

[steelandcanvas]

You're kidding, right? Drain it and refill it with the proper lube oil.

 

[doghead]

Just drain it. and when you fill it back up, try to stop about a half inch from the hole. If you can touch the oil with the tip of your finger, it's good. Too full and they can leak out the front bearing easier.

btw, don't panic over the wrong oil thing. Some people have been using motor oil in the transmissions for performance modifications/reasons with no ill effects.

 

[sermis]

Now take the old oil, filter it and put it in the tank for fuel.
