OK guys going to attempt to change the oil in the t5 , (I think the clutch is starting to slip in 2nd )
So I thought a oil change will at least help me out a little bit while I save up the funds for a new clutch.
Question 1.
From what I have read on here Ill need to use
"CASTROL VMX 80 SAE 75W/80, API GL4" but some people have said to use "CASTROL TQ DIII"
Which have people used and what do they think is better ??
Question 2.
Process
So from what I read its just a matter of undoing the bottom bolt and it drains out , bolt back in .
Undo top bolt and use some sort of pump to pump around 2 litres into the box and then bolt back on and off I go
What type of filling techniques do people use ? a pump or some sort of short tubing ?
Question 3.
In the long run I know im going to need a new clutch , so what have people used in the t5's ? I dont want to spend a fortune on the clutch , so the cheaper yet reliable is better for me . what costs would it normally take to get a new one put in ?
Going by what the previous owner told me the ute has a "Exeddy clutch and spigot bush" in it .
