I think if your comfortable with the workshop and their prices then go for it as you will have piece of mind that they did a good job..thats why I was willing to pay those kinda prices casue MEEK are know for doing things well and using good parts..
Shane, you just said you don't have noisy Lifters but you still want to use MBL8?! Why? Use good quality oil and be happy knowing they're in good condition.
Wasn't sure whether to use it anyway. Will steer clear until they are noisy. I used motul 5w/30 I think last time and was happy with it.
Don't forget transfer case and rear diff fluid - they're the same fluid and you need about a litre all up for both.
Didn't think of transfer case, thanks. All fluids in the rear dif should be done when the ayc gets serviced.
Also, sounded like you wanted to use the additive in the tranny fluid. Please dont do that.
I have a manual gearbox. It's a big no no for autos but apparently really good for the manual. Have you heard different?
Ordered my 100K service gear from Ralliart it NZ yesterday. Bill was a great help making sure my order got picked and despatched today (thier last day before Xmas break).
I purchased Rocker gaskets, spark plug o rings, tensioner, cam shaft seals, crank shaft seals f/r, timing belt, water pump, thermostat, p/s and alt belt, upper/lower radiator hose and fuel filter. All for only about $690AUD posted.
Rest of the stuff like pulleys, o2 sensor, and plugs I picked up from Meek.
All ready to go for service now. Planning on booking it into Nova auto inovations as they have had some legnum experience. Anyone have any feedback on these guys?
Cheers,
They are located in Newcastle
