What type of oil is required for the gearbox and diffs in a 2000 model NL. Also I have an extra fuel tank with a second filler. Anyone know if these have a pump in themto get back to the main tank or does it siphon.

Auto or manual? Is it limited slip rear diff? (Sticker on diff if you're not sure)
If you have the vehicle/glovebox manual the oils are listed there. I can list them depending on the questions above thoughLast edited by disco stu; 15-09-19, 10:41 AM. -
One way to check is search for the below link. You can change the Nulon to any brand, Castrol, Penrite etc etc. Once in it you search for your vehicle then it'll give what oil specs etc are recommended.

The second tank is under the rear passenger side & will have a pump to transfer back into the main tank. The pump could be internal or external.Originally posted by Bladesy View Post
Below the fuel filler in the wheel arch, you can unbolt the inner arch flare to see how all the hoses are connected, perhaps post some photos here of the filler & tanks if you're not sure.

For my 99 Escape, manual.
Castrol LSX 90 in both diffs.
I’ll have to confirm it but pretty sure I used Nulon Smooth Shift 75w-85, full synthetic GL-4 for the gearbox and transfer.'99 NL Escape, Manual - Bullbar, roofrack, cargo barrier, D697LT, Tough Dogs, dual batts, rear draws, Narva 225 HID, UHF, led bar etc

Yes, gl4 for gearbox and transfer case, gl5 for front diff, or whatever you used in rear diff or gearbox. Front diff doesn't sound fussyComment

To add to this topic-gearbox oil. I gather castrol made the VMX-M for the mitsubishi boxes, but how important is it to use that particular oil?
If you go by the other specs I thought any old GL4 would suit.
Reason I ask is that supercheap has the VMX (not VMX-M) on clearance for $24/4L which is about half the price of VMX-M at the momentComment

Been doing some research-it looks like the VMX-M is designed to overcome hard shifting in the mits boxes, particularly between 1st and 2nd when cold. The VMX doesn't have this additive, so could lead to hard shifting.
I'm then reading about Nulon G70 additive also helping with this issue, and it seems some even add it to the VMX-M oil. I'm not sure if adding this to standard gear oil turns it into the equivalent of VMX-M thoughComment

Oh, G70. Forgot about that.
Goes in my gearbox and transfer case too.'99 NL Escape, Manual - Bullbar, roofrack, cargo barrier, D697LT, Tough Dogs, dual batts, rear draws, Narva 225 HID, UHF, led bar etc

I gather the VMX-M is not needed in transfer case. I'm tempted to just pick up some of the cheaper VMX for that and maybe front diff. Be nice to know if the G70 changes it into what I needComment
