GL-4 or 5?

[g5mike]

I do not know what my brother has done in terms of tranny fluids,he probly used any ol thing,anyways I want to swap it out,if he indeed use GL-5 would it be fine to go back to GL-4?I find GL-5 has too many detergents,also I read about putting 5 litres in not 3.5,what side needs to be jacked etc.. to get all the tranny fluid out?

Thanks Mike.

GL-4.

 

To get the fluid out, simply take out the drain plug at the bottom. It'll all come out.

 

To put 5L in, I always did mine through the shifter hole. Much easier than jacking up the passenger side of the truck...

gl-5 in anything that doesnt have syncro's, gl-4 in syncro'ed gear boxes.

Thanks!!! I must have misunderstood another post,I thought I had to jack it up to get it all out.

no jacking required. just level ground and gravity will do it
