Whenever I buy a new car I always change the tranny, oil but on the SX it has diffs too and I've never done diffs before.
I usually use a synthetic tranny fluid when I do that so I'm thinking of doing the same in the diffs on the SX. Any suggestions from the awd peeps? I was thinking of royal purple from Crappy rather than motormaster. Tranny and diff oils are easy to change on this one so I might do it every 25-30 going forward. depends how lazy i get as the years go by. As it is right now I do about 10k a year but thats only because I live really close to work, which will be changing soon times as I progress through CPA.
Also, anyone use Motul in their cars? I was thinking of going Motul in the Mini for my next change. I only change the oil once a year on that one cuz it has like 8k or something interchange interval but I don't do anywhere near that so i'll just change it every summer. Did the first change last summer, took it to my mechanic and they used Mobil 1 Syn, but not a fan of Mobil 1 actually and will be doing my own changes going forward.
