Changing fluids

[Billy5]

Hey guys, just got a 1969 series2a. I want to treat it to a complete fluid change. What oil are you using in the engine? I used to use Rotella in my cruiser, but they changed the formulation. I ran 5-30 in the winter and 10 40 in the summer. Same question for the gearboxes and differentials, and steering box. Anyone using synthetics? Just curious.

Sta lube gl4 85w90 in everything except the engine...
Regular dinosaur juice valvoline 10w40 in the petrol motor

Thanks! Since I see you live in New York also, I live on Long Island ( east end in Greenport), are there any groups here? I can't seem to find any.

Check the map first...
I'm a good 7-9 hrs away from you...

Rochester isn't a part of Westchester...

There are a bunch of people here from the island and CT. They will be your best bet...

Valvoline 10w40 in the engine

90 weight gear oil everywhere else (not as finicky about brand on this stuff...will buy whatever comes in a 5 gallon container)

Hi Billy,

Congrats on your '69 SIIA ! I live in East Quogue and work in Westhampton Beach. We can get together sometime swap Series stories (like when its not 90-something degrees out).

To enjoy Series Rover companionship hop a ferry from Orient; lot of enthusiasts over there. Enjoy the new wheels

Andrew, any time! I would love to see others. Owned it a week. This weekend i am changing all the oils and grease. I used to live in East Quogue, on the corner of Lewis Road and Montauk Highway.
