PalePisces90 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I purchased a 2007 3.0 4WD/AWD Alphie in August this year. Thoroughly enjoying the car so far but despite it being relatively low mileage (approx 37000 miles) I am planning to have a comprehensive service carried out. I appreciate that there are additional aspects of maintenance to consider with a 4WD compared to a 2WD model. Though I am aware of certain quirks such as the heightened importance of monitoring relative tyre wear across the four wheels, I am essentially approaching this from a mechanically ignorant perspective and would appreciate any advice/product recommendations from fellow members! In particular, I was after advice/thoughts on the the drive-train elements and their separate lubrication. How frequently should this be drained/re-oiled? Thank you in advance for your help.

dugii Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Hey there, I got the exact same model 3 litre AWD, and went through the oil change: - gear box - really good to get this changed - transfer case / transaxle - owners manual states GL5 85w-90 - there is a drain plug and refill plug - rear diff - same as above GL5 85-90 and it also has drain plug and refill plug To me that suggests, that the car manufacturer was thinking about changing these oils, and as a good practice they should be. Good luck :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
