I know this is an old post but can I just ask, is ep90 suitable for the diffs, gearbox and transfer box on a Samurai?
Also what grade engine oil is recommended?
The answers are probably all over the forum but I can't see it for looking.
Thanks for any advice in advance _________________ Alan

Thanks deathbus, I'm going to replace all the oil and get some to keep in the garage this weekend.

10w40 for the engine.
if it smokes, use 15w40 as a last resort.
dont put 20w50 into it as itll block the camshaft galleries and cause a top end seize up! _________________ the car in front is a toyota...
the car pulling it out of the mud is a suzuki |
