VF 6.2 M6 Diff Oil and Trans Fluid

Good point about undoing the fill plug before the drain plug.....
I had a brown undies tantrum a few years ago when I did this in the other order and spent ages getting the stuck fill plug undone.

always.... old timers tip that one

I use all Penrite in mine with no issues at all. Manual has smoother shifts.

Yea Penrite in mine.

In regards to the holden vs ac Delco fluids, they all use the ac delco in the states and have said it the correct carbon Modified fluid. So wouldn’t suprise me if the Holden bottle is the same fluid just repackaged.

In my opinion I go the Penrite fluid as it’s cheaper and would rather change it more regularly. At 50k km the fluid was bad, (using at the track and drags) I am more inclined to change every 20-30k as it was bad again at 85k km.

I agree. It's really easy to replace it...so why not

Very clear instructions mate. Cheers. The big problem for most of us is not having a car lift, the VF is so low trying to grovel under it is mostly out the window.

Given there is no dip stick and the fluid levels are critical this is not an easy job for most.

I'm confused but it easy for me to be confused but are you talking about a auto box? just in case you are talking about a VF - WN Auto box I have done this to perfection.

Has anyone attempted a auto service on VF or WN without a dip stick

In the last few Days I have service 3 autos (pan off change the filter, remove THAT seal, change the oil) on 3 cars, our Shopping car a VR Commodore when it rains, our second shopping car when it does not rain a resurrected VE Anniversity and my sons Statesman and in the last 20 years I have...

Yes I am spoilt to have hoists at home so makes the job easy for me. Was surprised how easy it was to change the oils in the manual trans and diff, having the right tool does always help make it easier.

I know this is digging up an old thread, but is this the Penrite stuff you are talking about for a VF2 SSV with a T6060 Manual box?
